Another Look at People from the Past!!

I have removed a pic that showed Hitler in the background, it was never meant to insult/offend anyone but it did and I do apologize. Just another look at history that always seems to include the good, the bad and the ugly!

Jack said...: An interesting series, Sylvia. That Walton store looked like several small stores in my hometown. Who would have guessed what would spring from it.; July 2, 2014 at 6:16 PM

What Can I Say?

I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

I miss you Sam!!
