"At times our own light goes out, and is rekindled from a spark by another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame with in us." Albert Schweitzer 1875-1965. It is that time of the year again when there is a heap of articles and newsletters on Thanksgiving.
