Dear Grace, Once again Grace to the rescue!!Thank you for this information. <duh>Since Andersonville was a Confederate Prison naturally James S. was a Union man. I told you guys I was half asleep. <Gail really redfaced here after having read truly stupid final posting of the evening.> Believe it or not I actually have a degree in history. What did I say about things posted to the internet never going away? I can just picture someone searching the Grainger list archives years from now and thinking <gee> this is a clueless woman! I am not really doing much better this morning. After watching me stumbling around the farm office DH has suggested I should go take a nap. <smile> Now only some man would suggest that taking a nap is a good idea if one is leaving home for four days. Thank you Grace.
