John, All: Now it's starting to be fun. Thanks for being serious and injecting your finger from the flux with a little humor into the heat to keep this in perspective. I've really enjoyed the philosophical thoughts and insights. How about considering Titles for the different areas of the flame throwers. KoF: Keepers of the Flame; how about Dale for FoF: Father of the Flame; MoF: Maintainer of the Flame; PoF: Protector of the Flame; CoF: Collecter of the Flame; Etc. Just think, at the Cirque a person with his flock of Flames and a Name Badge that says: Keeper, Protector, Collector, maybe Herder, or if he has to many, Hoarder. That could be the best of all. Very competitive for bragging rights, all in good fun. You could have uniforms depicting your title like in the old days when one was identified by one's clothing. After all, we are keeping history alive, are we not? Whatcha think? Ted Ernst Palos Verdes Estates, Ca
