Good that you have a guy with some experience in the field! (grin)

Shame there's some great fishing and hunting down in your area! My folks live 
a few hours north of you near Sumter, so I know the area fairly well....have 
an old navy buddy who lives in the swamps on the Edisto River just south of 
Charleston...now he's a gemcutter and one of the best!

Yes, it is a great area for photography and Anne and I are even talking about 
making another trip down there this spring perhaps....I'd like to do the Grand 
Canyon again too!

Ah, I got it bacwards....Anne's finished her national cert...and I guess she'll

take a year "off" before she gets the bug and starts on her Doctorate....
