Thanks for such a colorful "ATTA BOY" -- I really appreciate the support I have received from you and others over the last 4 1/2 years.

I had a great day at the email hearing when Charles Ruff appeared. He received a button that said, "EVERYTHING'S FOR SALE AT THE WHITE HOUSE - Coffee, Lincoln's Bedroom, Missile Technology . . . ." Ruff was irritated by the button and mentioned it at the end of the hearing. I left after I said a few words to Ruff and retrieved my buttons, but I found out later that, if I'd stayed, I might have been tossed out of the hearing for giving out a lewd button. The button Ruff received was a true statement, but in no way was it "lewd." Fun times, huh?

Wow, see, I learn so much history doing these write-ups of my own chapter. I did not know that. Fascinating.
