   For about 10 years we lived in a house built in 1784. Definitely an experience. It had a family cemetery outside our dining room window, and had a guy buried there who died at the Battle of Malvern Hill during the Civil War. I’ve always been interested in history (one of my degrees is in history), and looking back in the records I discovered he served with my great – great grandfather. Now that was a coincidence. The people that built the house had a rather large family, and the old outhouse was still on the property, a THREE SEATER! No waiting! Luckily, we didn’t have to use it.

   In 2013, my wife and I attended the annual Korean War EX-POW Convention in Washington DC, which was held in tandem with the ceremonies for the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War Armistice (my late father in law was a Korean War POW). While in DC we visited our congressman at the time, John Barrow, and checked off an item on my bucket list, meeting John Lewis. Even though we weren’t from his district, he was a fantastic host (his staff was awesome as well). Our prayers are with him. He’s always been one of my heroes since I was old enough to understand the civil rights issue.
