2. The letter is a good read each month and I wish my kids
read it as well. Perhaps someday they will when their past
is of more interest to them. At first I often found it
difficult to follow but over time, I am beginning to see
some links and am able to recall some of the relationships.
Big thanks to Don and Ray.
Keep studying. There will another quiz in January.
