I remember the old Keys road. A friend almost drove us into the water. I hate that it is now all bridges. The excitement is gone.

I was shocked that they even mentioned the oldest workers. How refreshing that they talked about and celebrated them with pride. Most companies now just want to get any older workers out asap!

...and yet how difficult in many ways too. As you may recall, things weren't all that great in '35, coming out of the Depression.
