Your right Doug anyone that is "young" and has good sense will find a better way to starve by inches than this business. I thought I was probably the oldest on this list. 71, Been doing this for 43 years. But Grady down in Texarkana has me beat as far as age. I always say I probably will die with a soldering iron in my hand. Paul .

Is no one young even getting into this business? I will state, in my opinion, that if they DON'T get into this that in itself is a plus to their success in life.
