Oh,Jim, I have never been very savvy. What I am about to tell you is
absolutely true! I am just a rural kid from Drumright, Oklahoma. Down home
we didn't know what sophistication meant and indeed we kept the principle's
pigs outback of my grade school and fed them the lunch leavings we kids
didn't eat. We had one teacher for 2 grade levels so our education was
lacking. We only got half a day of actual instruction aimed at our grade and
thus my education was probably not as good as yours. Given that as a
background, I am sure you will do much better than I. So go for it with
Vernon. Why don't you ask him.
