Best people I ever knew, at least my Father was and they could never admit FDR wasn’t who they thought he was.

Interesting word, well applied!

LOL!! Sometime use verbs as nouns and nouns as verbs. Have been called for dangling participles!! Major offense!!!

In a way glad they never were cognizant of it!! It would really have hurt them.

Take care.........pilgrim
