Hi Ed
I always supported 6 and 7 and that movement started in the 70's (Of 
course now we have an administration that is undoing that.) ;-) and so 
did the consciousness about the rampant racialism.
 :-(  But before I get political here, I am signing off. Better part of 
valor as my persuasions are not always shared here and this is not a 
political forum --- I was just having some fun with nostalgia!
:-) Happy trails!

in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --WOW-- what
a ride !! "
