    Congratulations to both. The closest person I can think of who was similar to you Paul and Mary's quest for life long learning and yearning to share this knowledge with others is Fred Smith Sr., of Breakfast With Fred. Fred loved to think in principles, same as Leonardo Da Vinci.

    All the below links are from Breakfast with Fred site.

    Focused for Greatness
    How do you determine who your own personal heroes will be?    .

    Work Out the Principle
    In excerpts from a 1961 speech Fred Smith talks about the power of principles    .

    Learning To Identify Principles
    Fred Smith shares his wisdom about the proper use of experience    .

    Decision Making Principles
    Principles and examples of decision making principles    .

    Paul,

    So! The penalty for cradle snatching in your country is greater than fifty years!

    Margie,

    You have in fact been a part of a good many of those years and you're one of the reasons Mary and I cherish them. You and Bobby are more than friends. What is that "sticketh closer than a brother" [sister] thing the scriptures speak about?


    Aussie John,

    Now THAT is funny. Mary is going to especially like it. [But she's got a weird sense of humor also.] :)

    Paul and Mary,

    I guess we just missed your posting for today because we sent comments last night to the May 22 posting. Anyway, if you get to read it or not, congrats on a wonderful milestone of love and commitment. We love you guys and thank you for your influence in our marriage.

    Steve and KaJean Miller
