Amazing! I have "The Clock of Life" on my kitchen wall. It will have new meaning for me now.

Thanks for the flash back. I was lucky -I had a history teacher -Mr Posche- from 70-74 . He will always be my favorite. He made history come alive. He did not stop with what was in the the history book he always went deeper and encouraged his students to do the same. My younger sister -16yrs younger- also had him and she refers to him as the Paul Harvey of history.

Sure have missed Paul Harvey, he had the best 'stories' and the most comforting voice.

I looked at that plaque on my wall again just now. The last two lines read:
Place no faith in "tomorrow" for
The clock may then be still.

I have always loved that poem and read it often as it is right behind the door, and I can easily read it every time I put on my coat to go out.

Major goose bumps!!! When I read that last line about Butch I felt my spine tingle. I'm going to print these stories out and share the. With my friends.

Thanks,
