Did you know.....

"The Pee Dee River was the original river for Stephen Foster's song Old Folks at Home (commonly known by its first line, "Way down upon the Swanee River"). Why he changed it in his final version is a subject of much speculation."

Bob, there was a post made about the recovery of these guns, but it was a different article. Keep posting, and check in more often, there seems to be greater distances of time between your visits to this board.




Swampman, I did not know that; thanks for the information.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

THanks for the kind words, Boom; at the moment I am working through the week in Cambridge and only at home at the weekends, about 160 miles away. So I am often far away from my notes and pretty tired to boot! Thre is not enough time in the day to get everything done anymore, and that includes net surfing, I am afraid.
