Have been researching family for over thirty-one years now, and have no paternal family having ancestral roots in the South, but well remember my father commenting many times through the years when tasting something that he was particularly fond of as "Larapin' Good!" Can well assure that this has raised my curiosity as well! TTYL Craig At 01:21 PM 8/12/2007, you wrote: >I don't know. I just remember it from when I was a kid and that's a long >time ago.
