    There's nothing like knowing what you are fighting for.

    I sometimes agree with your sentiment, Miguel, wrong time for me too.

    All right! In other words you must have maried a beautiful wife Jack! Apparently Gene Tierney was pretty famous.

    Gene Tierney was a very beautiful woman - she was legendary as the star of the film-noir classic, 'Laura'.....

    Excellent story! I loved the ending: " We were a dandy couple, we still are!"

    Wow! No wonder she was a model for so many aircraft nose artists! She is beautiful.

    Laura, that is one of the "must sees" of the film-noir era. Gene Tierney was such a delectable vision.

    GOOD job finding it, Adam.

    Somebody rep him for his tenaciousness. I can't yet, it's been too soon.
