Some really good comments, for an OT convo, I see this as a community of friends, all with similar interests,and that converstions here are just as they would be seated at the table enjoying a pint together.

The greatest thanks really need to go to folks like Todd and those like him on both sides of the pond, who truly struggle against those who seem to not give much of a damn what happens to the preservation of our history. How many historical treasures have been lost in Scotland to housing and industry..

More often than not, where we have come from is taken too lightly, the tremedous sacrifice made by those who got us where we are nears being just a footnote. So many great things were achieved by setting differences aside and uniting for a cause. Can we go forward on the path to which we were set without remembering what has cone before. Too often these days it seems we haved doomed ourselves to reliving mistakes of the past.
