I havent noticed any comment in your paper, from anyone on the subject. Is it because when people get old, they should be satisfied with whats done for them, without bothering anyone else about it? I am sure, however, that I voice the sentiment of all the aged folks, in both stakes, when I say thank you, Vosco and John, for the great time you gave us.
