Ed et al, I want to thank all of you seasoned citizens for making me feel better today than I have for quite a while. Ignore the fact that I start vacation tomorrow!! That don't count. We have heard all the way from 25 - 78 and I fit in the middle, 51. Maybe when I get back in a couple of weeks Steve will expand his picture gallery to include all folks from TN and then I will be in a good mood and maybe even put myself on display!? (Uh oh, I can hear the lawsuits now for scaring folks) Just wanted to say THANKS and see ya all in a couple of weeks.
