Reply #2: I'm a Bit Older Than You Are [View All]

I remember the night so well. We were stuck in an ice storm, I was 8 months pregnant and we were listening to the lottery on the car radio. My husband's birthday was the second number called. I'm amazed I didn't give birth in the car. He had a deferment because of my pregnancy, which we weren't sure would still work. But it did, and he never was called up. (The baby was planned and wanted; she was not conceived in order to enable him to avoid the draft.)
