Another "sandman" now gathering with his friends, reminiscing over those long days and nights, dealing with sand fleas, harvesting the silica sand from which glass would be made. Claude is waiting for you, along with Porky, Maxie, and the rest as you enjoy the good NEW days of your life away from Earth.
