As I am sure that you have done as well Fred.. talking (actually listening to them, I should say) with the real old timers over the years... most all long gone now, and really listening and grasping, what life on this sandbar was like, in the early part of the prior century... and very correct on the "no money" part...but,, the part I picked up on, was that they didn't miss it (money) or really need it... they had a tough life for sure, but a Great life, it was.
The Key, and I remeber this statement well, from one old timer.. because it really struck me..
"Less People, No Money, More Freedom, No Rules, except the Golden One"
rings true...they saw the best of it Fred.
