Chuck,
During WWII a couple of my uncles happened to meet on the top of a
hill in Germany during a battle. While they were shaking hands and
greeting each other a third brother walked up to join the reunion.
All three of them were in different military outfits! When their
commanding officers discovered the 3 brothers were in the same combat
area, they were separated. One was sent home, another assigned to a
desk job and the third remained in combat. All three made it home!

There is an old fashioned "Block Party" (hosted by one of the local
volunteer fire companies) in progress this weekend. The party
started Thursday evening and will continue until Sunday afternoon.
