[AT] EXCUSE ME.. PORTLAND?

[two4ac at earthlink.net]

Thank you Farmer.  Our prayers are with you and your Mother.  My 
Grandmother, while losing her fight with cancer, was losing her mental 
capabilities.  It is very hard to see someone go through that.  I was almost 
glad to see her not have to suffer anymore.  Keep your chin up.  On a 
lighter note, I was the emcee, from my rascal, at a small tractor show in 
Arba, IN and I used your joke.  I made a small fountune in farming.....I 
started out with a large one.  lol.  They loved it!
