I graduated from college in 1972 surely that should count for something. Can I come for the educational part of it?

I was also born in an election year when Nixon ran for the Presidency, though he was only Vice President when I was born.
Does that count for half-credit?</font>

Ah! Finally a 1972 DO!
Though I barely managed it. Another 29 Days and I would have been toast.

Well here is my shot at qualifying:
- My wife was born in 1972
- I was born in a California Gubernatorial election year, the year Ronald Reagan was re-elected and he is a republican just like Nixon was.
- I visited the Nixon and Reagan libraries this past weekend and they both had a lot of stuff that talked about 1972
- And if none of those work, possibly I can get two years of credit via affirmative action to correct past injustices (like scheduling and laziness) that prevented me from attending previous FT "DO's".
