Nice to "know" you a little better, Debbie. Thumbsup

You have a great LHOTP autographs collections. girl! I only have Karen Grassle's autographs and I cherish it a great deal.

Yes: "These Happy Golden Years" is a book that had a kind of magic, but like other members of this board, I like all nine. Each one is great in its own. Smile
