>A minor point – it was Will Rogers who said, “Never Met A Man I Didn't Like”! To which I must add he did not meet some of the people I have met! However, I do like Roy Rogers and remember him on television and film when I was a kid.

Ooops. Oh well, I am over 40, so I am starting to get prone to those cursed senior moments.

>December 31, 1993 I saw Roy rogers and Dale Evens on television. It was their wedding anniversary and Roy made the following observation, "A successful marriage is 80% give and 20% take”! Which makes sense, however I know a few people (divorced) who thought their marriage partners should give 80% and they took the other 20.

>It is amazing that after all the name calling Steve and John still “communicate”.

Amazing is an understatement. This is more like 100% give['em hell] on both sides and no take.
