Ellen, That was a wonderful story. It's the little things that make our various families so interesting and loved. I could ramble on about my Grandpa Couch, about when he was a prison guard at LaGrange, KY prison. His blaksmithing, his cornmill, his mules, his own family coal mine, his physical strength, his knowledge of the bible, etc, etc. The featherbeds, outside toilet, oil lamps. One of my favorites was the well in his front yard and the water dipper used by anyone and everyone that wanted a nice cold drink. Ron Couch
