There are 2 kinds of people, those that do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the 1st group, there is less competition there. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 1:06 PM To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNHAWKIN] Did they move to the county, or was the County moved to them?
