MERRY CHRISTMAS GENTS !!!! also from the Great State of Tennessee. May the Good Lord richly bless all of you and your families this holiday season, and throughout all of your days. Thanks to Norb and crew for staying the course and delivering more than a game. This has been for me (since the days before 2nd Manassas) an opportunity to meet some of the most intelligent, friendly and honorable people i have ever come to know. I enjoy the company of the folks here more than I can express, and time spent on these boards is never time wasted.


Very Respectfully,

Christmas Bells

"I heard the bells on christmas day
Their old familiar Carols play
And wild and sweet
Their words repeat
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


And thought how,as the day had come,
The Belfries of all christendom
Had rolled along
the unbroken song
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


Till,Ringing,Singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice,a chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the south,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


And in despair i bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth" i said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth Goodwill to men!


Then peeled the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead;nor doth he sleep!
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth Goodwill to men!"


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)Dec 25th 1864

A very Merry Christmas to all the Johnnies and Billy's here and a Happy and Blessed New Year!!

Merry Christmas to everyone here in the states and around the world.
