Question, Mr. Courtney -

How old are you?  (This shouldn't require any research)

You claim to have been a teacher for 17 years.  Yet, you will not answer the
simple question, "Where did you teach?"

You claim to have worked in the Silicon Valley in California for seven
years.  Again, you do not answer another simple question, "Where in the
Silicon Valley?"

You claim to be a retired military officer.

Simple math:

17 years (teaching)

7 years (working in the Silicon Valley)

24 years (bare minimum to have retired from the service as an officer,
allowing for the minimum of 4 years to get your degree so that you can enter
the service as an officer)

Total:  48 years

Believeing that you entered college immediately after high school, entered
the service immediately after graduation, went to work in the Silicon Valley
immediately after retirement, commenced your career in teaching immediately
upon completion of seven years in Silicon Valley, and completed 17 years in
the teaching profession this morning, this makes you at least 66 years old.

Hmmmm.  I wonder?
