Did you know that Mecklenburg County was named for George III’s, wife who came from Mecklenburg, Germany (originally a Slavic area that was Teutonicized).
Although George III is reviled by Americans, he was one of the few English kings who was faithful to his wife, Charlotte of Mecklenburg.

I’ll take that as a “no it wasn’t an influence”.

Actually, I’m curious about the influence from the Mecklenburg Resolves too, and wonder why Skeezix is dodging the question.
Arye - I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, slick. I had no idea…
Nice to see Skeezix and Walt lately. Still, I miss Earl, Upton, Ramona, Suds and the gang from the past few years…

Didn’t the Wrinkle Neck Mules have a hit song “Mecklenburg County”?
