Great to hear your story Don - inspirational to say the least.
I can certainly relate to your feeling of being “unemployable”.
You find a unique way to earn a living, usually when you are youngish with lots of energy and then thirty years later you realize you are way way out on that limb and well past the point of return.
And I will see if I can dig up and send you a new “40th Anniversary” poster that is not ripped…
