Never went to high school !!

I was homeless at age 14. I lived on the streets ,ate out of garbage cans at restaurants and slept anywhere I could. The winters were so cold ,I would find apartment buildings and find a way to access the basement tunnels with steam pipes. ,I did work on construction jobs here and there when work was available. I tried to join the army but they wouldn't accept me due to a heart problem.




That was 55 years ago !
