George, you're so right!!! There used to be some great guys around like Ben, Roger Brothers and Berdan Proud....I miss them. Even though Roger was as Unreconstructed a rebel as could be, I always liked him, a great guy, as was Ben...and what can you say about Father Proud? I believe he was as good a Christian and member of the Clergy as could be. Do you think he could have been related to "one Lorenzo Barber" ? LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL. I mean he would bring that up every once in awhile :-).. I think he believed ole Lorenzo won the war all by himself...but they were all good guys and friends, just like you Amigo.
