You are right, sir. The public will conduct themselves as they will and there's simply little to be done about it.
I have not given much thought to a legacy beyond forging my own strength and position independent of the family. This strange place has given cause for a closer reexamination of this belief.
I surmise the strongest legacy will come from my brother and his wife. Should they have children, I will be sure they understand their duty to uphold our proud heritage and traditions.
