You know, your comment gave me an aha moment! I think that the most wonderful thing about the old days is that there wasn't such a competitive drive to make money. Things were made to last and they did. Today, everything is cheaply made and in multitudes. For me, it is a sad but true realism. @themessengers, I really appreciate your very insightful perspective. I look forward to your articles....with your deep views, I'm sure they will be great! Again, thank-you!
