Re: Fall From Pride (6:41pm August 23, 2011):

I had never seen anyone from the Amish community before I moved to Southern NJ. I have been priviledged to sit and chat with a young woman who works at one of the local Flea Markets,who was nice enough to answer some of the questions I had. It amazes me.that even though they are"out" in the "English" world working,they are still holding onto the beliefs and way of life they have had for centuries. I will admit though,I am saddened that because of the dwindling numbers of Amish,and the high demand of product,they no longer do the woodworking in the old style,but now use nails,screws etc. I wish them the best,hope they prosper without losing who/what they are.
