[VAN DELL JORDAN <vdjor AT yahoo.com>]

I am so unfamiliar with golf that I didn't realize
that a bag of golf clubs would be difficult for an 11
year old to carry.

When I was in high school there was still a working
blacksmith shop in Salisbury, Mo.   About ten years
later when I started bringing our sons back for summer
vacations the blackmith building had become a golf
cart shop.  I thought that sure was a sign of changing
times.
