Chris,
It would be nice if the results of your calculations were in fact true, but,
sadly, I was nowhere close to 18 in 1998. My writing skills seem to be eroding
since my retirement, and in attempting to avoid my usual verbosity, what I
wrote obviously was subject to misinterpretation because of poor sentence
structure. Actually, my father died in 1998 at the age of 82, a short time
before the date that would have been his and mother's 60th wedding anniversary,
not at the age of 60. I was 18 at the time I took the photograph on his 42nd
birthday, way back in 1958, which makes me, as of today, 452.4 in dog years.
Some days, I feel about that old in people years.
