Hi lindy......good to see you're still kickin'.

Late last year, LindyBill gave us a great book recommendation, written by Stephen Ambrose, "Nothing Like It in the World", about the making of the transcontinental railroad here in the USA. Since I'm a history buff, and minored in AmCiv, and really liked "Undaunted Courage" by the same author, I immediately bought and read the former.

Great book. Highly recommend. Plenty of cross fertilization between those financial times & lessons, and now.

OK, payback time.
Just got back from the Museum of Science watching the Omni film presentation of "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure".

Great piece about the British expedition to Antarctica in 1914 that went haywire, whereby 28 men were forced to live on the icepack without help or outside contact for almost 24 months. They were all rescued; none died. Great heroism and an astonishing tale. True.

Go see it if you can.

best to the thread,
Apollo
