What a great story! You know, I have relatives in NC and have thought about looking some of them up. I guess my biggest fear is that they'd think I was some sort of nut. I could just never bring myself to knock on the door. Isn't it a great feeling when you finally do and it turns out like your's did? There's still a lot of good country folk out there. Thanks for sharing that, it reminds me of a time when people visited people, sat on a porch and drank lemonade. A lot of our problems today could be worked out with a good porch, and a glass of lemonade. Chip
