Well said, YS ... exactly what we did. No link to the past, we both looked to the future. It’s only in the last couple of years that we have re-established contact with some other oldies from the old days ... and they are few.
Forgive me for saying this, but RBL and RAFA make me shiver ... people who (some of them) do good work, but mostly totally living in the past instead of today and tomorrow.
