Miles, Gee, gosh, shucks, maybe it's because, in spite of a lively sense of humor, I don't really have much to say that's worth much(!) But I tend to NOT blow my own horn...real modesty, not false at all...I have spoken to the Daughters of the Confederacy chapter here twice, a church circle just yesterday, and the local Piedmont Arts Association last week--not all that shy either, I guess. My speaking style revolves around the adage: "If you can't Wow them with Wisdom, then Baffle them with B. S.". I'm still "new" in town and while I've learned alot, most of what I know isn't really my own--yet... Thanks for the kind words;-) Peter In a message dated 6/8/05 5:32:44 PM, [email protected] writes: << I don't see Peter Ramsey on the list of speakers >>
