Having just found your site, I was floored at the thought there could be someone else in this world that feels or felt the same as me.

Having said that, I notice on your site that Laf has apparently passed, to which I say, please accept my heart felt condolences. I would have liked to have met him.

Like Laf, I was born on February 19th, except in 1949. I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps shortly after graduation, and served in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969 when and where I was wounded. And believe this or not, shortly before being discharged, I purchased a stuffed toy lion (naming him Lafcadio) before giving him to a volunteer who came to visit wounded Marines at Oakknoll Naval Hospital.

Great minds think alike?. . . . . I say, you bet. Think Laf and I could hav been good buds.

Getting to the post, I couldn't agree more with the state of our country and the world, and it grieves me there is no one wanting to take it back, but then I remember that these things, whether we like them or not, must come to pass. I'm quite certain you've placed your faith in a much Greater Power, and it's in Him we find our strength to face that which we'll be facing in even greater intensity as we move closer to His return.

Thank you Sage for maintaining the site.
