"Come on, a preacher will give anyone a reference!" The response was: "He's the only person in Orkney who isn't related to me; half the town is my mother's family, the other half is my father's family [Moomaws]". "How about the post master?" "That's Uncle Ned down at the general store." And boy oh boy did they make great Virginia ham biscuits there as I later found out. If we went to Orkney for the weekend we might end crashing in any house in town ... just depended on who had a spare bed that weekend. Pleasant memories indeed. Walt
