The "burden" I bear is that my direct ancestor, Dr. Thomas Walker was young Mr. Jefferson's guardian - and supposedly was the birth doctor when lil' Tommy was born but that is unsubstantiated I believe. Thing is, we ALL know that Ben Franklin actually wrote the Declaration Of Independence - TJ was just a scribe...

Your 4th of July "historical" tribute is one of your better. HOO knew that even our forefathers were such great Hokies. I caught it mid day at work and it lifting my spirits enough to get me through the day. Keep writing and I will read the ones I do and not the ones I do not. Jim,
