I has paid the bills, provided me with a comfortable living and a wonderful family. It is the core of what our Society is all about. No pretenses, no BS, no chicanery. Just flat out hard work and a commitment to doing the best Job I could possibly do.

No hand outs, no gifts, no deception.

Is everything perfect. Heck no. But I wake up every morning and can honsetly say I am thankful for what I have and the life I have lived.

I would hazard a guess that there are a lot more out there like me.

There most certainly are; problem is that it's our generation and older not the "kids" coming out of college.
