Wife's family still owns the homestead in SW Virginia. We don't trace it back too far, 'cause we might be related. But you know all those articles about the Scot-Irish that settled and never moved? Yeah, that's us.
Family claim to fame is that goober that flew his single engine plane into the White House when Clinton was there. He was a distant cousin of my mother-in-law.
ROTFLOL!
My families claim to fame:
You remember the song by Alabama "My Home's in Alabama?"
There is a line in it that goes "Then I heard about the bar room just across the Georgia line, where a boy could make a living playing guitar for a dime"
My dad's boyhood friend owned that bar.
