Hi, Cump; I am well familiar with some of those repercussions; just wanted "Geoff" to know I had no plans, and he could stand down. I haven't watched O'Reilly for a while. He has become pretty dense for an Irishman. Maybe it has to do with his youth in Levittown, with its cookie cutter houses and picket fences. And then, too he was a school teacher. Nothing against school teachers, as my recently deceased mother in law was one, but they seem to be good or very bad. My m-i-l, Georgia, went to Kentucky at their request to teach high school just out of Tift College. There in the Eastern Kentucky with which we are familiar she met the love of her life, also recently deceased. He starred in four sports in high school and enlisted in the Navy in 1944. At the Battle of Okinawa his LST was never hit by kamikazes. He was the trigger man on a 40mm AA gun. He was smart enough to follow Georgia to Georgia and marry her July 20, 1947. My bride was born nine months and one week later, April 27, 1948. His father having died of black lung, Homer became an oil executive, above ground. His baby brother Lawrence, only six months older than I, was a bank president, and is now the County Judge (i.e. Chief Executive) in London, Laurel County, Kentucky. Not bad for two sons of Appalachia. Some of their older neighbors helped build TVA, and worked in the Manhatten Project, down in East Tennessee, the fruits of which probably saved my father in law's life. He would have taken part in the invasion of Japan had not one of my favorite Presidents, Harry Truman, made the right decision and dropped the big ones on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His ship, LST 17, carrried supplies to Hiroshima after the surrender. But enough; I believe you and I share the same high opinion of those old Scots Irish settlers. BTW, Homer's dad came from West Virginia; we are close to being neighbors after the fact. Stan
