AAM, just sharing various thoughts, which I am enjoying-you make a very convincing argument. On the opposite side of the coin, Doc has all the recognition he probably needs. He has daughter Chiatra and son-in-law JHB to continue his legacy. Plus I am sure Doc has RADs ear. Of course as is true in any marriage, Mrs. Dalton may have alot to say about what Doc does next-she may say go for it-you earned it-or she may want him home running to the store for milk and bread !!!
