Ditto from me too. I have the need to say something smart but thought better of it. Like the man said, "It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid than to open it and let them know for sure". There is a piece of paper somewhere in Ohio or Virginia/West Virginia that list the name of Archibald's Mother & Father dated 1840 or 1841. All we have to do is find it.
