Hi Frank,

That reminds me of a true story about my father, soon to be 84... This
Spring he was voted by the readership of the small town newspaper in the
place where he grew up, and to which he has retired, as the "Man of the
Year".... When my brother, sisters, and I were invited to submit remarks to
be published upon the great occasion, my brother submitted a piece stating
that our father had no enemies, as he "has outlived them all"....

There are some perks that come with elder years, it seems, especially if one
remains robust and fully in possession of his faculties..... Already this
year, he has been to Cancun, Miami, Palm Beach, Boulder, Charleston, SC, and
now this month, he will be travelling to Virginia Beach and Wash. DC...

Will, T2
