Good afternoon, Sandy,
I think I have read and heard that 70's children inhabited the "Me"
generation yet, I find that others in my generation of so-called
Melenials don't see the wealth that is waiting to be heard in older
folks I.E people whom actually know a thing or 2 about life. Your
gifts to us are huge. Don't need to underestimate your wealth!
for today, Car
