Always a gentleman, Smithee.. I think I could take anything you said ...and you never make it personal, and understand that it is coming from your heart and try to believe whatever it is. Raining cats and dogs here in Boone, N.C. Whatever plans people had for a great week-end have been rained out as of yesterday and now today. Addendum; My Father was in banking. We didn't do that badly in the Depression but everyone around needed help.. relatives etc. We had hobos coming to our door for food...which was always supplied. We just learned to conserve, not take for granted and to be respectful of material things.. They were scarce and often not affordable. It was those times and the subsequent war where we had to make our own soap,go without certain foods . I have always been parsimonious as a result. Also not afraid of hard work which never phased me. I knew that I would survive as I never minded doing any job.. Even when I was teaching, the kids came from second generation in this Country... Parents moved from New York to the suburbs and it was there that I first witnessed the spending and spoiling. Greed to me has always been re pungent and I guess it was this to what I was referring. And on the other side of town there were poor and the division in the school between the two groups was salient... We had to have sensitivity to others' classes..
