Nice work! Without yankees, there would be no southerners. Please teach this young man a respect for the American soldier. I'm certain he is or will be in good hands. Best of luck to you in this new venture!

Well Ami and crowd, our addition arrived at 0306 yesterday after a long and worrying pregnancy the little punk was out only after three good hard pushes. My wife was in labor for three days straight though, and it's my fault. My better half delivered an 8 lbs 1 oz, 21" long miniature Living Historian. If all goes well his first event will be this Sunday & Monday afternoon greeting a Sesquentennial (sp?) wagon train.
Aubrey William is happy, healthy and loud. I swear he keeps screaming for scotch! Sounds like Maaammmaaa scotch Little guy after my heart.
Only one outburst from the better half, one sure to amuse: "After this one you're getting fixed!"
