Hey Dogman.
Mary Pat is trooper for sure, definitely hardcore, and an inspiration to all! I have read many, many stories here.
And in my book, everyone here is a trooper.
The worse the case, the harder they fight.
I think the people here give new meaning to the word Courage, and it already has many meanings.
In the movie "Star Man", when the alien is leaving he says: (this is not verbatim) What he observed and said about humans was "You Are At Your Best, When Things Are At Their Worst"!
Even thogh this was a sci-Fi,I believe that observation to be correct!
Thanks for sharing.
