Ericka, Jan, and all,

It is the older like 70's and 80's at my church more apt to speak to me more 
than just to hand me a coffee.  However, I happen to be in that darned baby 
boomer group.  You young folks are going to be working hard to keep us on 
Social Security, and I wish my contribution was more than what it is 
currently.  A lot of the younger generation is more me centered, in my 
opinion.
