#5 Bright Pebbles, our daughter's British father-in-law is one of these quiet men, now nearly retired but still not quite out of the small business he founded and ran through some tough years. I treasure the lessons he taught our son-in-law, but wonder whether that country or this one will long survive as it pushes such men and women to despair and withdrawl.

#6 "despair and withdrawl" No, I don't see that. These people get up and go on. Each day is a challenge. The will and the drive may weaken but not the sprit. In their darkest hour they should deal with adversity better than most. They have weathered many storms and look forward with hope for a better day."If it is to be, It is up to me".

#7 "Ignored by the public, ignored by the politicians, ignored by the unions."

Damned lucky man. That's how he accomplished all he did.
