Well ain't that a faux-pas calling a Texan a Brit. My Father was born in Huttig ,Arkansas and lived around west Louisiana and Texas in his early years, enlisted in the Army at Houston at the start of WW2 and was was sent to Fort Bragg,N.C. for training , came home with my mothers cousin and got transplanted to North Carolina. The last time I went down there was to Hollis family reunion in Orange,Texas at his brother's home . I have a picture somewhere of my father and I standing beside a road sign that says "Cut and Shoot, Texas". ### Mike Hollis ### -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
