Wow! And Wow! Nancy and Daryl Lopez, with whom I played lots of music, recently moved to Vancouver to be near their children and she posted a photo or 2 on facebook recently of this and I sat staring at it for quite a while, marveling. I had no Idea. You have supplied the rest of the story, of which I would have never guessed. What an epic concept, I'm most grateful to know. Thank you.

thank you David. Vancouver has an interesting history. The whole Kaiser ship building saga is so interesting, particularly that their health care program for employees built a whole system of care around the country

Happy Anniversary, Hal and Teresa, and aren't you a pair! Writers both. I loved seeing your words nestled next to each other. It mattered, for some reason. Perhaps this has happened before. Surely it has, but a first for this reader.

Not an easy process. Many try, but few succeed! Been there done that!
