Thank you, Carol Sue. I have been told I should write a book of my travels. Just never have gotten around to it.

Also, speaking of writings, when you stop into the Clanton Cafe, check with Joyce Aros, the proprietriss. She is a writer of a few things you would probably enjoy reading. One is about the Clantons and the cowboy faction. She has writen a small book entitled, "In Defense of the Cowboys". It's about the Clantons and McLaury brothers with many interesting facts of these men that Hollywood has made into villians. It's very enlightening and will make you feel differently when you stand at their graves the next time.

Will look for you around town mid Nov.

Best, Kate
