Kevin - there are vey few who are not being affected by the current serious downturn - you are not alone & we hope things will pick up for you & yours & others. You sound like you have a lot of stick-to-it-ive -ness. Remembr, one door doesn't close but another 1 opens - if only we keep our eyes open & the faith. I know I'm not telling you anything new!
With your natural talents, you will win for you & your family!
