Ranger OKelley. Thanks so much for posting Pat's tribute to his father. The Conroy's and Harvey's are personal friends, and Kathy works for my wife on Parris Island. I was at Don's Funeral and saw Pat read his tribute. It brought tears to many eyes there. I knew the Great Santini. Drank with him and actually took him to the "Santini" Room at the MCAS Beaufort O club. He had no idea they named the room after him. He also was always trying to pick up my ex-wife at the Naval Hospital. (If he only knew) I'm guessing that you must live near Lexington, the BBQ Captiol of the World! I love the Lowcountry but miss the best Q in the world.

Actually I live in Barbecue Township. It was created about 75 years before Lexington, North Carolina. It was named that back in the early 1700s because it was said the fog coming off the creek reminded the folks of a barbecue. So the creek is named Barbecue creek, and one of the oldest churches in the area (1752) is Barbecue Church. I'm within the flight path of Pope AFB.
Glad you are enjoying them.
