This statement reminded me of something that happened when I was in high school. After the danger of nuclear war as a result of the Cuban missile crisis had passed, one of my instructors announced to the class that he had been prepared to go with his family into the nuclear bomb shelter that he had built in his backyard.

I know it made a big impression upon me at the time. My family had three cherry trees in our backyard.
