    What a lovely memorial to have of his wife of 75 years. It brought a lump to my throat seeing Fred so touched by the arrangement of his song to Lorraine.

    DONNA--It sure was. I am, myself a hopeless romantic, so this piece spoke to me.

    Yeah EILEEN--I hear that.

    Thanks ATWOOD--It sure was.

    I'm convinced that the people who are alive now that lived though the second part of this last century have experinced the best years this country, (the U.S.), has known.

    It's so nice to know there are still people that respect, cherish and honor their partners. It's so easy today to say lets get married if it does not work we can always get divorced

    Too rite, Donna. What you say is true about how some folks think about marrying these days. It sort of looks like two prospective partners begin their marriage with idea that divorce is a given and that it doesn't matter. You know--that a partner is a "throw-away" item. It's an uncomfortable thought really.
