Ivan, thank you for a wonderful post. Our furniture industry must grasp these concepts and then make some tough choices.

Over at www.thelivelymerchant.com I continue to talk about the same issues.

The idea of serving another person seems to have been lost.

The last generation of Americans to be in control were the Baby Boomers.

Times however have changed. By the end of this year- just another 6 weeks the mantle will have moved.

While some say authority will move to the Xer's, it will actually jump to Generation Y or the 13th generation.

Surprisingly to many this young generation has the heart of service imprinted into their collective DNA.

It will be a joy to watch them fulfill the happy-talk of their fathers.
