Gotta tell ya that the 1950s weren't all that great at times.

I disagree with the premise of this thread, although I have the greatest admiration and respect for the gal who started it. There are many threads that have 'fun' in them. However, political threads tend to get hot, fast. As do religious threads. As do 'race' threads. The world is becoming polarized, much more so than I have seen in the past. However, there as still many kind and thoughtful people around the 'cat, and that's a truth. I suppose we can all look to halcyon times in our lives and feel that nothing again will match them. And we can make sure that that becomes a self-fulfilling thing.

Rick was deservedly a well-respected, well-loved guy around this place. However, there are other people who have done as much with intent as good. I think it is unkind to his memory to assume that his legacy of caring died with him. It didn't IMO.
