Thanks Becky! I noticed you live in Indianapolis. That is about thirty miles North of where i grew up. I graduated from Indian Creek High School down in Trafalgar, Indiana in 1978. We lived in Nineveh, just a bit South of Franklin, where I was born. Mom still lives in Edinburgh, and my sister works in Greenwood. Dad worked for Arvin Industries in Franklin for 33 years until his death in 1986.
