Gary. so here I am 3000 miles from home finally catching up with L-O. I
believe there is a body of research That suggests that sudden changes in
social status generate debilitating effects. For example, Diana never
adjusted to her role and there is an opinion that this was evident during
the wedding according to some observers of the Queen.
Another "report" suggests that winners are lotteries are no happier one
year after their winning than they were before. Sorry but I do not focus
on the details. However. my fundamental believe is "To thyne own self be
true". Money does NOT help nor does recognition. Remember Marilyn and
Elvis and John Belushi and on and on..................Keith
