I had a friend who continued doing business on a handshake. He said, "If you won't honor a handshake, you won't honor a piece of paper." Roy Schmidt >>> "C.

It seems peculiar that anyone would call sauerkraut "Liberty kraut" And to think that someone's "word" or "handshake" was considered a done deal because there was honor in a person's WORD. I wish that were true today -- it seems there is very little that anyone can trust in nowadays. Claire
