   My friend Val Karas has humbled me with this tribute so I had to share it. Val never seeks praise nor does he believe in the reciprocal exchange of comments, but how could I not share this here? Thank you Val, you don’t realise how much this, and your friendship means.

      Yes Peggy....
      I wonder if the powers to be are taking note of that fact.
