Excellent commentary Mr. Box. Times change...people not so much. 

Years ago my nephew met a gentleman who said he was an former SS officer who managed to escape from a Soviet gulag and over 2 years, made his way across Siberia and then crossed into Alaska where he spent the rest of his life.

It's a small world we live in, and our actions...and inactions can and do have dramatic results. Hindsight is 20/20.
