Ron.......hope you are responding well to your treatment. My prayers are with you. I also have a Claude Smothers..........Henry Claude Smothers, my ggrandfather, b. 1882 in Texarcana, AR, m. to Kydie Pollard. He went by Claude Smothers. I only mentioned this as I didn't want others to confuse the Claude's (no pun intended!). Karen Theofanides
