Thoughts in Progress
He was certainly very talented. Have a great weekend, Mary.
So very interesting. Too bad that the Edsel got such a bad rap. Actually, I don't think it was a bad car...just didn't sell because of the way it looked...
Thanks so much Mason, Marie and Jacob.
Edsel was intelligent and hardworking and gave to the poor.
Have a great weekend.
