And, yes, what a wealth of material you have witnessed, though I know a lot of it was traumatic and sad as well. As you listed the events, I had a vivid flashback of where I was when the Challenger went down. I guess we all have moments like that - where were you when...? Good luck with TRUST BUT VERIFY and, like Ann, I'm off to check on your books.
