This is a great clock that was given to me my neighbor.  I just love it.    
Funny how I can remember things from years ago---I had a teacher in 7th grade (Mrs. Mclean) that my dad also had when he was in 7th grade(years before me).  There was a large clock on the wall above the door at Peter Burnett Jr High in Sant Jose, CA.  Above the clock was printed in large letters--TIME PASSES, WILL YOU?  I have never forgotten that.  I can't remember last week but I can remember things from my youth.  I'm again, watching the rain and wishing for some sun.
