..BTW, is that FUMA '67 Fork Union Military Academy? That's just up the road from me.

Hey, ain't that sumtin! What's the area like now? When I graduated it was most rural. There were abandoned houses around from the civil war era. Now I understand, like everywhere, its urbanizing quickly.

Btw, I was in A Company, with Lee Atwater. He was class of '68, I think. Any y'all remember Lee?

"...its urbanizing quickly."

Yep...before too long, Charlottesville and Richmond are gonna be all-but-connected and FUMA's smack dab in the middle. It's still beautiful countryside, though.

Mr. Atwater was one of my true heroes, 68. In fact, I believe his death had more to do with the failure of Bush, Sr.'s campaign in '92 that even the abandonment of the "Read My Lips" pledge. The loss of Lee Atwater was almost as much of a loss to conservatism as Reagan's loss of his mental faculties, IMHO. I sense not enough conservatives recognize how valuable Lee was.

Big fan of Lee Atwater. I think off him whenever I eat at "Red, Hot, and Blues." (Which, try!)

Another great man who died too young.
