Thank you and the same to you! We lived in Clute, TX (near Freeport, Lake Jackson, Angleton, and south of Houston) for 18 years. Moved back to my home state of MO 8 years ago.

I see Eddie Epperly of Leon name once in a while in the paper as one of the people working on the historical murder case in Villisca IA that happened many many years ago. I don't know the details but I'm sure that someone on the Villisca City Council would be able to locate him. He has given talks in Villisca and Council Bluffs.

As the story goes, General George Washington and his troops endured a brutal bitter winter at Valley Forge. His officers came to him, reporting that they were out of ammunition. What should they do? General Washington thought for a moment. Then he asked, "You've got fruitcakes, don't you." The officers nodded their heads and said yes, they did have fruitcakes, not sure what the General was implying. General Washington said, "Then use the fruitcakes." According to legend, a lot of the British soldiers were either wounded or killed via fruitcake. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * May you never be caught without fruitcake. May you have an enjoyable and wonderful Holiday Season and experience a glorious 2010. Sharon R.
