Didn't know where to start so I figured what the hell might as well jump in here. Hope the waters warm. From Kansas, married, one son now deceased and a granddaughter. I write essays and war chronicles and now I'm writing to you all. Thanks for having me and looking forward to meeting many of you in the near future. Peace. Fred

Nice to see an American - welcome Fred. At first glance, I thought you were Billy Connolly - my favourite Scottish Comedian !
