To watch Ange in action was to love him.
P.S. Sorry that video seems to be acting up. It was fine the first time I viewed it. But I seem to have awakened it from some Karloffian mummy slumber, and it ain't got its sea legs yet.

She is buried at Caney Head Methodist Church on a little creek in Heard County where my brother has been the preacher for the past 5 years or so (leaving because of time constraints). Mayhayley helped a friend's grandfather recover a stolen wrecker in the '50's by predicting where it could be found

Andy, Kirk, and Mike Brady all in one bar. There's definitely a joke there somewhere.

The redshirt is Robert Reed from Brady Bunch. He did eventually die. From AIDS. Don't wear the red shirt!
