Carrie Richards November 12, 2009 at 7:53 AM An interesting piece of history, ....walking through the grocery store, my goodness...the things we take for granted! Someone, somewhere worked hard to make it all happen, and we just grab it off a shelf without a second thought! Nice dedication! ~ Carrie
