my last post reminded me of a dark day for many of my friends (the editor mentioned below)
Draft_lottery_(1969)
 though i had a high number (312), if i remember correctly, and i had a deferment
my editor did not, very low draft number, low grades,and lost his deferment
if memory serves, he dropped out of school and enlisted in the Air Force
i never saw him again....
Selective_Service_System
read the section on 1969
i had a 2D deferment
