We need some ne'er-do-wells to spice it up -- and usually, even the good guys have plenty of flaws.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124320464289216738.post-42256179735412225342012-05-01T18:06:18.619-07:002012-05-01T18:06:18.619-07:00It gets better.

Nothing like tracking down an original record. I also endorse your conclusion; my kids won't give a hoot about how many facts I peg to the RM5 database. They will be fascinated by the stories I reveal. <br />Happy Blogiversary, btw!Kay Stricklandhttp://dkaysdays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124320464289216738.post-31726842557755274912012-05-01T06:12:32.742-07:002012-05-01T06:12:32.742-07:00Wow what a story.
