Boys State is an annual one-week summer assembly of high school seniors held in every state in the union except Hawaii. It is sponsored by the American Legion.<\/p>\n

I attended in 1958 in California. It had a profound effect on me. I gained my self-confidence that week. I was elected to state office.<\/p>\n

In my day, the two parties were Tories and Whigs. The head of the Whig party was Stacy Keach. The head of the Tory party was Dwight Chapin. Chapin later served as Pres.

I think that was for the best.<\/p>\n
