Thanx Earlie; <OT> Like you I read the book before the
world was talking about. I knew it could make a good
Movie but didn't think the movie biz would pick it up
or do a good job if they did.
They surprised me as much as Sebastian did with his
ability to capture the life style.

I lost count of how many copies of the book I gave away,
( it told so much of my story better than I could tell it)
This year my Xmas shopping has been simplified being the
tape came out :-)
The checkout girl at the local video shop was dumbfounded &
looked at me like I was nuts as I bought 10 copies which
was all they had in stock :-).

Ps I have 8 grown kids and have lost count of
how many grandkids, and now their kids are already making
a new crop , it sort of puts me in shock as I didn't
realize back then that my pass time during the short off seasons would add up to such large numbers.
