Hey Michele! I have been wondering about you too! Did you ever finish your dissertation? In late February I thought I would be moving into a tent, but a couple let me move into their house in the Smokies. That has really broadened my NA research efforts because there are SO MANY famous archaeological sites nearby. I live in the original location of the Tuskegee Creeks and only ten minutes from the site of Chiaha. Both de Soto and Pardo came past my mail box! Another surprise is that even though I live near the oldest continuously occupied Cherokee community (Snowbird) all but one of the Indian place names in this county is either Hitchiti or Muskogee Creek. The other place name is claimed by both the Yuchi and the Cherokees. It is literally the Yuchi word, but stretched a bit to be Cherokee. The truth is out there somewhere. Well, at this moment I don't have a dollar on me, but am extremely healthy and things are happening now, which will probably produce income in the future. Y'all be good, hear? Richard
