In various letters Dr. Friedman wrote: "I certainly commend you for the Grandfather Report and for the imaginative way in which you have displayed data highly relevant to very important issues. I am impressed. Your objective is one I fully endorse. Your charts and analyses are excellent. Very well done. I congratulate you and applaud your continuing effort." In December 2000, Michael Hodges received a surprise package from Dr. Friedman, which included a copy of Dr. Friedman's recent book of memoirs, 'Two Lucky People,' where Dr. Friedman and his wife Rose made this endorsement: "For Michael Hodges, whose Grandfather Report is spreading the good word. With respect and admiration." Signed - Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman. (see 'A Tribute to Dr. Milton Friedman') "By highlighting economic threats to our young, actions may result such that negative trends become positive trends - - and my generation can become more proud of our bequest to the next generation." Michael W. Hodges, author (mwhodges@att.net). (About the Author contained within Tribute to Milton Friedman). WISE WORDS FROM A FOUNDING FATHER OF OUR GREAT NATION "There is in the nature of government an impatience of control that disposes those invested with power to look with an evil eye upon all external attempts to restrain or direct its operations. This has its origin in the love of power. Representatives of the people are not superior to the people themselves." Alexander Hamilton - Federalist Papers, 1787. mwhodges.home.att.net
