moonshinin'

I just received the following email from my dad...slightly edited due to language...
"I want to share one of the great moments of my life with you.
Your aunt is doing the Family Tree...Anyway, she has found an arrest warrant for my great-grandfather and my great-great-grandfather, signed by the honorable Ulysses S. Grant, President of these United States,  and you'll never guess what the crime was??? Lucky guess-- it was for making illegal whiskey, ( good old Arkansas Moonshine.) Never have I been so proud in all my almost 60 yrs. I have a tear in my eye as I send this msge. I am so fullfilled. I knew you would want to be in on this."

Just when I think I cannot love my family any-damn-more than I already do. You go Mike Jones...You go
