Hi Dave,

I believe the reason that the younger generation are not as interested in
genealogy is because they have so much more to do and learn yet. We've done
it!!

I thought I was still young until you mentioned the 8 track player, toasters
that open on the sides!!! But, I'm not as old as you Dave because I don't
remember the hand cranked auto <vbg>

Have a great day.
