The Good Old Days ??

[hubert liverman]

HI, RicB

"Nostalgia is a fond memory of an imaginary history"

I can not recall the author. I am confident that someone will, and
instantly, indicate that it either attribitutal or a aphorism. Please advise
as to how I can post to Newtonburg, he became a email/phone friend and
Mentor of mine. I have a few 'Newtons' to share. :-). Off Line Is Fine.

Hearty Cheers

Hubert Liverman,
