a salute to my grandfather Gerald Farmer, who left Dublin to help with the war effort... I was told he survived a few sinking... but kept at it... and to the little old Brit chap I met yesterday in Groveton, Texas... he mentioned he knew what he was doing, back then... He was on a British ship firing on the beaches for the landing..... you never know when you meet the most interesting people... or where... Groveton has a population of about 350 people.. a typical small town in East Texas..
