--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James A Wyly <mawjaw2@juno.com> Hi, I know this is not pure Genealolgy , but it is what we may hear at reunions and Geneaology workshops. Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously After all, you can take your latest book or report to the Dairy Queen with $5.00 and get a small hamburger and drink, with your Senior Citizens discount. If you can't laugh, at least smile. Charles A.
