I like your optimism ND. Heaven's door we all hope!it will be nice to get there after a hell of a time! Who the devil said that?

Knocking on heavens door was a song written by Bob Dylan and it was revived by Eric Clapton when his toddler son fell from a high rise flat in the USA. Knocking on the door doesn't mean it will be opened without the milk of human kindness and points accrued from good deeds. St Peter, one of Christ's disciples, has the key to the pearly gates. A kind of passport control and immigration. No economic migrants allowed. It is said it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Good luck my friends in your quest for glory.
I hasten to add -- just take your time.
I tried hard and identified a few I know well. And how young and great you look! These are priceless photos and have the power to melt away the years and bring back such wonderful memories, I'm sure!
