And if you have not read Dr. Bob and The Good Old Timers.. Please read it, you will love it..
http://www.silkworth.net/pdfDrBob/La...-July-1980.pdf Thank you so much for the link to Dr. Bob and the old timers! Again, you always have the information I crave to read! I love listening to the old-timer tapes so much! It's so much more of what I feel I need.

God bless you!
