Just a quick note to thank everybody who responded to my request for help
with a Social Security question. I have ordered a copy of the SS Application,
and hopefully I will get some good information (knock on wood!). Thanks
again. Knox Martin

The South is a land that has known sorrows; it is a land that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the
plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of
legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories. To that land
every drop of my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart,
is consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I was nurtured at her breast;
and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her
bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender encircling arms. Edward Carmack
