Hi Herb
Sorry to hear about the no grandchildren. And a thank you for your kind 
comment.

What I failed to mention is, I also have 6 grandsons, most now in their 
early twenties with the youngest one about to become 21 on May 24! They to, 
like the grand daughters, are  fine young men without a doubt who will all 
be champions in their professions and trades.

I suppose the one thing I find what all fathers, Mothers and grandparents 
find.... "the children all grow up way too fast from birth to young folks." 
However, give them love and care as they grow and you'll get it back in 
spades as Irene and I have found with our 4 children and their 10 children.

I suppose the one thing I've always tried to do within the family and all 
the foks throughout my career and that is a very simple motto if you like.

"You get what you give!"

Quite simple really! And we see it in the grand children in how they act 
toward others. Hopefully it will say throughout their adult life as well.
cheers,
ted
