Sally Eslinger November 22, 2022 at 10:03 PM Duke, I like this list. Not too unlike the physicians’s oath. Lots to consider about making any additions. Nice getting to know you! Sympatico, I think. Also like your appreciation for words, language, style. Thanks for stopping by my pg and your time to comment Duke Beaufort April 21, 2025 at 7:56 PM Thanks Sally, I was just looking back....will see what you've written recently in the next day or so. Hope you are well!!!
