If you dont mind being humbled or educated, visit the "legends and pioneers" Category here on Trad. Gang. For those who haven't visited this section of this fine site, there is some great footage of our pioneers in action as well as some awesome pics.
Let us not forget our humble beginnings, and the great pioneers who led the way.  

Seconded!

Thanks for the reminder about that section.  Great stuff!

Thanks for the heads up, Moleman!  Hope you're doing good!

Amen to the men that started it

I hear ya Paul       that is one of my favorit sections!

Awesome stuff there.  I go there periodically to remind myself of what we're trying to pass on/preserve/emulate
