David... I love that Kipling poem...such a tall order..the rewards would be incredible....would that we all could be this "perfect"...but certainly, we can strive...it's that "trying thing" again...*grin.
So glad to see you back here....we always learn so much from you.
And thank you for the kind words...my Dad was a driving force in so many lives...a poor man, a principled man..much like you I suspect.
