Have we become America the brittle? Not yet. I went to a well attended men's breakfast at 6AM today at a nearby small country Church. Most of the attendees were/are farmers, hunters and fishermen. I knew them all by name. They are friends and neighbors. If you want to find and see first hand America's resilience and fortitude meet men like these.

Alfred P. Murrah Not sure if I ever posted this here, (I have a great memory but it doesn't last long) but Judge Alfred P. Murrah (an orphan who rode in as a young train vagabond who with the help of a farmer, who found him along the RR tracks near the grain silos and took him in, finished HS, College and Law School) grew up in the same tiny Oklahoma town I lived in as a youngster, Tuttle, Oklahoma. I did not know him. He was older and we lived on different farms outside of town. I learned later, some of my family did know him.
