those are traits I wish that more people could find within themselves. Particularly those who never learned to listen, hear, or care to understand what others have to say.

That is a fantastic interview...intense, the thoughts expressed by John Casserly. His responses ring familiar to those I heard back in the day, from guys that were in the VVAW who I worked and struggled, together with, for many years. It's so refreshing to be reminded of those feelings during these times. And so important.

You have every reason to be incredibly proud, H2O Man...Chloe is a treasure! Please pass on my praise to your daughter for her excellent work.
