NOTE: I'm adding an update regarding our family business! Quite often I receive requests for financial help to various "ministries". DUE TO the financial "down-turn" beginning about 2008...eventually we were forced to shut-down our business. Our sons have all found adequate employment. They and their families are doing quite well. Wife and I are doing well...we're both on S.S. and have a little in reserve. [posted on 10/5/11]
