    Hi Barry, welcome home, pull up a stump and set a spell. I was born down in Peterspatch and...

    Hey Jar, Thanks for writing. I always enjoy your friendly & informative posts at the other place. Peterspatch, eh? Haven't heard it called that in years. I married a Chester girl 34 years and 3 days ago. Best wishes, Barry

    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

    Jar, Thank you for posting that wonderful connection to the past. Sentimental yet honestly sensitive too, the way all high art should strike us. Thank you for that story. Happy New Year in advance. Best wishes, Barry
