Sorry for my little typo last nite as I actually have the 1677 date also listed in my computer, but when I typed up the message last nite, I had just returned from the Family Celebrations of the Christening of my granddaughter, Gracie Mae Purdum. Hope you can understand after all that crab, crab dip, crab cakes, and there might even have been a beer or two involved, at the Crab Deck on Kent Island.
