A very good plot, 23 May 2001
Author: Errold Perryman (eperrymanj@cfl.rr.com) from FL.USA

A very good storyline there is little of these guys in all of us who came along 1930,40,50 and 60 I think it should be shown again.Not only show it. maybe the powers that be would think of updating this wonderful story which has the right tone for the times
