Wow, its the equivalent of a antiques roadshow moment..."It's an original! and worth that much!?"

Yes, There are noble reasons for freedom, and there is our current situation. Sad. May God bless those who have died in this mess. My heart breaks for them and their families and loved ones.

True stroy,
We had a rock show conferance, many different rocks displayed. One person came across a table with a big green rock. He asked how much. The seller sid $100.00. The person excaimed "One Hundred??!!!" The seller then said, "Ok, give me $75.00 and it's yours" Of course he baught it. It turned out to be the largest emerald on record. It was front page news. that was a long time ago.
