Introduction	I've been married to Debbie, the love of my life, since 1974. We met at Shorter College. I grew up in the town where I'm living again, after 35 years of roaming around the country. We've got 3 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and one granddaughter. I'm definitely a Cosmic Possum from the North Georgia Mountains, with family roots going back over 200 years in North GA, NC, SC, and VA. My Mom's got 6 or 7 family lines in the DAR, but I've never managed to get around to joining the Sons of the American Revolution, but I will soon, now that I've discovered a direct Jones ancestor who fought in that war. Strangely, I didn't have any ancestors who fought in "the late unpleasantness" (1861-65)...just a great-great grandfather who was in the Georgia Militia (a distant relative says he was a captain, but I have no other evidence...I think she was reading the muster roll wrong.)
