Ron, that whole note is a thought that should be repeated everywhere. Good on you.

I wish I could have said it so well and I'll take it a little further; we have an obligation, not only to our friends but to our children, to spread words like yours whenever and wherever we get an opportunity.

I hate, absolutely hate, speaking in public. But I've been asked a few times to speak and have agreed to do so every time only because I think we all have this responsibility to share what we have learned at such great cost, hoping we do not end up re-learning these horrifying lessons time-after-time... Each time I've been rewarded a hundred times over. Usually by the kids. How great is that?

Thanks,
Bob
