Liz The email you responded to was included in your response. That was good. What was bad was some very necessary parts were missing. I had added some comments--grins after several of the sentences. I had used the "less than" and the "greater than" symbols to offset the grins. Looks like that was stripped from the e-mail. They were meant as humorous. I did not assume any ill will in the email but just could not pass up the opportunity. We still go back about 4 times a year as both my wife and I have family there--nr Lynchburg, and nr Farmville. It is a great place but it does get cold, has snow and ice. After living on the Space Coast of Florida for 44 years I don't think I could get use to that again. Good luck in your family search and hope you make it to Va for a visit. Doug ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
