Thank you Kent! I am open to all suggestions as to where to get started
learning how to  design with the Python Object-Oriented Paradigm.
I'm doing a lot of reading, some coding (in my 'testing' directory),
and a lot of thinking about what I'm trying to do. This is a learning situation.
Since I'm a Hobbyist programmer, I don't have a 'class' deadline to meet
(and believe me, I'm happy about that!). I do feel that learning how to do this
will enhance the enjoyment of my Hobby for years to come. I do know that
it will open a lot of doors for me that are currently closed, especially when
it comes to creating games with Python/PyGame, and so forth. Plus, it is
quite possible that this discussion will benefit others who are also just
beginning.

Happy Happy Joy Joy.

"You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its
orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such
allegiance.  Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil.
A good person will resist an evil system with his or her
whole soul." [Mahatma Gandhi]
