I'm about at the point where I'll accept almost anything to get back past Miles Jennings, B: abt 1738 in Halifax County, VA. When I was young, I walked 2 miles through the snow, uphill both ways, barefooted, to get to school. We lived in Florida at the time so it was especially hard since we had no heavy clothing. Happy hunting, all. Bill Brown
