Hi Ralbuck, I grew up in New York City, but left after 22 years to reside in several shipbuilding cities finally retiring in South Mississippi. Back then, when you wanted something, if you couldn't buy it, you made it. A whole lot of self education was the norm for those of my generation. At the ripe old age of 83, I still strive to learn more The old body is showing it's weaknesses, but overall I'm still productive. People when they reach that twilight age, tend to give up and await their final judgement. I am different. I don't dwell on the hereafter, but on the present. If I have done one thing right in my life, it has been to prepare myself emotionally for the future. Fear not; want not.
