As the reader knows, the old stockyards guy loves to reminisce about the “old days” at the “nation’s largest livestock market,” as do most any others who spent a lifetime at that fabled central public market. Knowing you have heard this before, I will again submit that the folks at the market worked hard, played hard but most importantly, made a difference. That’s really all we can ask out of our life.
