It's great to catch up with you Vern! I hope you are doing well. I can't remember .10cent popcorn, but I remember .25cent gas. I also remember watching the movie twice before we left the theater.

I've been playing music on Saturday mornings with a bunch of people at the Creekside Community Center. One of the guys is 97 years old, and he really gets my attention when he starts playing the harmonica. You are right ... "Never Too Late"
