Oh, I'm an Ohioan, geographically I'm a Mid-Westerner and proud of it. I believe there are four definitions of Yankees, Ken.
1. Any one from the U.S. as called by a foreigner (whether you lads down South like that one or not.) I'm a Yankee there.
2. Any one north of the Mason-Dixon Line. I'm A Yankee there.
3. Anyone from New England. Not me.
4. Anyone from Vermont. Not me.
There used to be a man on this board named Mike Gerow who fitted all four definitions, he and his pal Cump Turchin were my favorite posters. They road off into the sunset over a year ago. Staunch Unionist the both of them.
