From one of my friends........Thank You!

For a couple of paragraphs, this is an incredible post. Have you ever seriously thought of public speaking? You could give any person I've seen on the news whether it be FOX, heaven forbid CNN, or any of the other channels, a run for their money. Not to mention everything you say packs a whollup! Did I spell that right... probably not, but oh well you get my point.

Your writings always inform me, moving me to laugh, to even cry at times, paint a picture so vivid I can see in front of me, but always, always to THINK! Thanks for sharing and I think Trail of Tears should be mandatory reading in schools. I make it mandatory for my children... and not just because of their Cherokee heritage either. Simply because I believe it's the right thing to do to inform our children of real acts of atrocity that have happened in this land we call America, our home. Acts that we, the immigrants, perpetrated upon those who were here first living their lives peaceably among one another.

Again, great piece, thanks for sharing something great with all of us who read your blog.

Have a great day.
