[NJARC] FORTRAN

[Mike Feher]

You are right Al, I also thought he was younger than that. I took my first
course in FORTRAN in the summer of 1965 at Brookhaven National Laboratory,
between high school and college. Since I came here as a refugee and could
not speak the language, I was almost 20 when I graduated from HS. 73 - Mike

Rob,

I thought you were younger than that.  It's amazing any of us learned 
anything that way.
