In retrospect to terrorism, War, lives lost, and those injured, although I tell my Children every time we talk, I have to say that I consider myself "The Luckiest Guy in the World" to have the greatest wife, 4 beautiful daughters, their husbands, and Nine (9) beautiful grandchildren. I am very proud of each one of them. I am especially lucky because they were old enough to decide whether to love me when I came into their lives and they chose to accept and love me. I think of them every day and want to thank them for their love and respect. Never forget how much I love all of you.
More happenings to come as time permits....
