Now that you mention it, 20+ years ago I was given an honorary membership in the Thomas Hobbs Camp (Athens, AL). I was born in Cincinnati, but my ancestors are from Kentucky, so they were kind enough to forgive my Yankee roots.}8^D

Anyway,I moved from North Alabama to the Birmingham area in 97, and other interests took priority. In the meantime, I got into genealogy and found that I have pretty deep CSA roots on Dad's side. Lost a couple of great-great uncles in The Cause, plus another one was a state rep in Kentucky who fled the state because authorities were after him for recruiting for the South. He wound up in Virginia and served in the Confederate House of Representatives for the duration.

Anyway, you've reminded me that I need to renew those old ties (moved back to Athens last year) and also upgrade my membership. Thanks!
