That was pretty darned interesting if I do say so myself. The only living witness as well. Wow. 1956 and he was still around to tell the story. He had some lucky grandkids (and probably some great grandkids as well.)

Dear J_Man0507;

Nobody believes me when I tell people, I am so old I sat in class with Moses and my birth certificate is cut into a stone tablet. [Grins]

Respectfully submitted with a bushel of humor,

Love the cigarette commercial at the end. Guests on the show recieved a carton of Winstons. Couldn't see it happening today somehow.
