"The only good day of the maneuvers, as far as I can tell
from the stories, was when they
crossed the state line leaving Tennessee". - Author unknown |
|
|
A Note to all: When I say "LATEST"
I mean the most recent email offerings which
could go back a few weeks. I try hard to get
to this web site when time allows and I
realize some might be disappointed that
their mail, photos, etc are not posted
immediately. I own and maintain many web
sites by myself (the major ones are listed
at the very bottom of the page) which is my
livelihood. I will always get to your email
so don't be discouraged. I only wish that I
could do better. |
