I too would like to thank you for these postings. Beside the interesting reading, they give us a more personal view of those who came before. I think they also show that although some, not all, of the problems of the time were different we are still human with human faults. And to say "things like that never happened in past times" is very wrong, they did. Thank you again for real stories about real people. Char ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
