Going through the old papers and correspondence is like panning for gold where I only see and grab the largest stones....certain that all sorts of value is getting away but those I recognize as something personally valuable to me has been so rewarding.<br /><br />Thanks much for the holiday wishes; the very same to you and yours!Coop a.k.a.

All those events are relatively recent. We take for granted our immense good fortune with all the trappings of modern life, fancy cars, motorcycles, air travel, and money to buy most anything we need. It’s important to have the perspective. Thank you so much. <br /><br />All the best to you and your family for the holidays.

Nothing in his letters are surprises about who and what he was; the newly discovered details only help to fill in the sharper corners.Coop a.k.a.
