The best paragraph from SSS Form 7, Dec 72
     [my Vietnam-era draft card]:
<br>
``Personal Appearance Before the Appeal Board -- may be requested if you
 are eligible to request an appeal to the appeal board.  You may appeal
 to the appeal board without requesting a personal appearance before the
 appeal board, but if you wish to appear before the appeal board you
 must specifically ask for the appearance in addition to requesting the
 appeal.''

<P>
[Translation: GO AWAY!]

<!--  My lottery number was 248 -->


<p><b>2012 update:</b> I finally found the card!  I was sure I had it
  stashed away somewhere.  
<BR>So I scanned the <A HREF=Draft-card.jpg>front</A>
and the <A HREF=Draft-card-s2.jpg>back</A>.
<br>It's still vaguely frightening...
