I am 61 and grew up in New York. There was a time when pride carried weight with workers and doing a good job in a responsible way was both expected and a source of that pride. Over the years society has elevated the status of Artists and even Chefs in our society but the value of good craftsmanship has yet to be so valued outside the work of dedicated amateurs and professionals. Our times are not unprecedented, however. The Industrial Age in the 19th century gave birth to the Arts and Crafts movement and so there is reason to hope that present circumstances may give birth to a revival of craftsmanship in our age. I do hope I live to see the day. John Sir: I could not agree with you more. I am 61 and grew up in New York.
