Hi Kathy, Well we all never stop learning, do we? We can learn something new every day. Thanks

HI Lathy, A very interesting new forum that you have started. I like the idea you came up with! Take care! Marilyn

Hi Kathy, History can teach us much, and to be willing to learn from past mistakes as well as past triumphs only makes sense. Hope things are going well Kathy and you're all recovered. Thanks for the interesting forum.
