LaFaye, Thank you so much. I appreciate you and all our other RAGAN-ROOTers too. We did have a pretty good day, in spite of dad being in the hospital. Today I was able to have Thanksgiving dinner with all my kids and their families. And my dad's wife June who is a *very* important part of our family too. And I was also able to spend some time this week with one of my brothers (Kimbal Hugh RAGAN) and my sister (Nikola Lynn RAGAN/McKAMIE). They came in for the holiday too. Kim had planned to come before dad got sick. Niki made a special trip because of dad. After dinner today us kids and my wife Terry made a trip to Chattanooga and saw dad. He seems to be doing much better today. He was very alert and in good spirits. We were very thankful for that. He's a good 'ol boy (as they would say around here) and we love him very much. I appreciate everyone for keeping him in your prayers. Thank you RAGAN-ROOTers! Later Y'all, Michael W.
