Ha Richard,

Thought  I would lite you know that things are ok at  this time. I am living in the north Georgia mountains at this time, still go down to the old home at least twice a week sometimes more. Have problems with the internet up here though. Working on getting DSL to solve problem. I access my old e-mail from here. I do have a new e-mail address for up here it is cpreston2 at tds.net. Don't know how long I will be here I am looking for a new home location away from the Atlanta GA area, maybe something close to where I am now but definitely away from Atlanta. Just wanted to let you and all the rest of the tribe know a little of what has changed. Will be in touch.

Peace, Love, & Blessings to all ~~Charles~~
