In recent postings about the Tuckers, "stubborn determination" and "stubbornness" have been mentioned as common characteristics on several occasions. In the Tucker ancestors that I have known those traits were very conspicuous. Fortunately, when those genes reached me, they emerged only as "constructive determination". However, I have noticed that plain old "stubbornness" has reemerged in our children. [Please do not contact my wife or children to verify these facts.] Clyde Tucker
