Add me to the list! My maternal grandmother and her 3 brothers came to  
the US about 1905 to escape the Czar's army, although one of the  
brothers had already maimed himself to avoid serving. I avoided  
Vietnam with the aid of Quaker counselors and a sympathetic family  
doctor and had the complete support of my parents. My draft lottery  
number was 26... They were interesting times
