Right to the bottom line! Thanks for your opinion Jock!

I was interested in the heritage of both sides of my family. I was surrounded by it on both sides. My Grand father on my mom's side, and of course my aunt's and uncles on my dad's side.

Though my dad's side carries a ton of American history with it, it was always my mom's side that struck me really deeply. I wouldn't say I wear rose colored glasses, it is the uniqueness of the thing!
