[AT] the way we were raised

[Herb Metz]

Richard, I certainly agree.   Between scoliosis and curvature of spine, I 
don't get around very well any more.   However, all I need to do is go to VA 
in Atlanta; normally there are a dozen of so patients outside waiting on 
rides, etc, with a couple in wheelchairs (usually amputees).

   As has been Charlie that was normal back then.I am 73 and in poor
   health but not from working as a kid or just working.  Just life style
   or something some have it some don,t. I won,t complain because there
   are people a lot worse off than me.

   I didn't mention that about myself. My dad died when I was
   16. All that I know about farming and the basics I learned about
   mechanic work, carpentry, preserving food, and on and on, I learned
   before I was 16. If I had not been allowed to work on the farm
   as a child, I would have been totally lost after he died.

   I am like a lot of others i started working when i was about 10[if you
   could call it working]. With my Dad he was a carpenter and taught me a
   lot be fore i lost him at [my] age of 18. I went on to teach 2
   brothers and two sons the same trade. And made my living at it till i
   retired also picked up a few other skills along the way. Most Kids now
   days learn to collect from Mom and Dad every nickel or toy they can.
   Then peer pressure teaches them to do nothing constructive. Go to
   school drink drug up and every one else is to feel sorry for them and
   help them out. They all are born with a brain like us and know right
   from wrong.
   enough of this rant
