err...I think you meant to say JOHN Wilkes Boothe but I do agree with the main thrust of your comment.
Too funny!
Yeah you’re right. I thought it didn’t sound quite right but the name is so well known I just assumed it was me.
Personally I don’t have any problems with southern heritage and think it’s great, just different. Also I live in an area where hundreds of men from Kentucky died fighting the british and indians in 1812. For some interesting nearly forgotten history you should search “Battle of the River Raisin”.
