Hey Debbie....thanks for stopping....no...fortunately I have been blessed with a complete table all my life every thanksgiving so far....a man I've known most of my life...I went in his apt one time ..he never married...he had a page of a magazine taped on the wall of the I think Norman Rockwell thanksgiving family scene..there..so sad...
