Thank you Chris, that was a beautiful piece of writing and a window into a shared childhood when grown ups could watch TV News and still and facts in it rather than confirmation bias. I fear we've fallen a way since then.

Thank you - and agree. And those somber men I poked fun at as a five year old were serious statesmen, most of whom put country before party. We have indeed fallen a long way since then.

Beautifully expressed, dear brother. But I still want to know what Lawrence’d Dad did. I Thought you were gonna say he had some thing to do with Watergate somehow.

Pretty sure he was unemployed and angry about it. At least that's the story line I would develop if I ever made this into a novel. And thank you! Heart emoji!

Fwiw, I thought the same as Joy 😄. Can’t wait for the novel!
