OH - and I'm working on my DRT!!!

Good luck on the DRT research! Sadly, my Texas ancestors are too new to even try. I'm FFV, though, and plan to attend the Jamestown activities.
Some people just can't think properly, as it would take them out of their hate-filled comfort zones. More's the pity, as it just perpetuates old myths. What gets to me are the people who move South, raise daughters and call them GRITS. There's a lot more to being a Southerner than geography!
