Thank you for the greeting, MacShorty. Have to admit, while I live in PA, my heart is in Northern VA. Has always felt like home to me.

Know the Reston area fairly well for a couple of reasons. I did some Civil War re-enacting with the 27th Va, an original unit from the Stonewall Brigade which is still in existence to this day. Bit of a Civil War buff and have to admit that Stonewall Jackson is one of my heroes and the person I have probably read the most about. For those reasons, Reston makes me

Good chance we may cross paths one day as I do some events in that area as well.

Hello, Mipi. Nice to hear from someone close to the roots of my father's side of the family.

My grandfather was the 1st to come to the USA when he was a young lad. He was primarily of Slovakian descent but was from your geographical area.

Have a blessed day.
