I'm a long time lurker here on this list. But was just wondering if any of you guys will be at the Southeast Old Thresher's Reunion in Denton, NC. 1st week of July. I live not far away and always go and was hoping to see the faces that go with some of the names here.

If Hillary Clinton wins the U.S. presidential election, it will be the
first time in history that two U.S. presidents have slept with each other!

black family.
