Thanks for the inspiration, David.  I was beginning to doubt my resolve in my profession that I have been in for 30 years now.  There have always been ups and downs in the market, but this one seems to be the worst so far.  Was getting a little down on myself seeing a friend (an client) being driven out of the market due to all the implosions.  Thanks for the reminder that there is never surrender - adapt, improvise and overcome.  Although I was never in the service officially (volunteered my time with JAG during last Gulf War - long story), I have been married (the father of my children) to an Air Cav (then went to Air Guard - another long story) and am currently married to a Vietnam Vet airman.  Also have 3 brothers in the Navy (one of who was attached to the Marines as a corpsman before he retired).  Your story reminded me of where I have been in life and what I have accomplished.  Thank you again!

Anita
