Take care, Nora >> Hello, I checked with my mom and she said she had never thought much about her Woods' noses. BUT the other night her 12 yr old granddaughter was telling her that she had a big nose. LOL Mom said the more she thought about it and looked at some old pictures, she said her Woods do have a prominent nose. As far as the gambling, mom said her grandfather was a real hard working farmer. He didn't have time or money for things like gambling. You know though, life itself was a gamble years ago. I know for my great grandfather to load up his family and personal belongings on to a raft and float across the mighty Mississippi River from Tennessee into Missouri was a big gamble. I know that is not the way we look at gambling now days. Take care, Nora
