Congrats lots LB. I was born in Pensacola (tiny Cantonment) 1945. It was all a privately owned paper mill, supported us, lived within eyesight straight down the street. St.Regis bought the mill and us people of that neighborhood. They moved us all to Jax, northside. I had the same schoolmates in Jax that I did in Cantonment. Amazing event. Dad so liked Cantonment so much for years he kept a pecan orchard he bought. Every year the orchard neighbor wrote Dad asking permission to harvest the pecans. Dad told him he needn't ask but he wrote every year. We didn't really know him and no money was ever talked of. It was beautiful 20 acres packed with lined up pecan trees. It was split by a stream. Govment cut it in half with a highway. That Gov pressure crap is why Dad sold it.
Enjoy settling in. I'll be watching with y'all Saturday. Another oddity = Did my predental at UF but got my DDS degree from UT Med School in Memphis - Florida was years away from getting a dental school, which I bet is better than UT's by now. Grew up age 6-20 as a Florida fan & was at UF in Spurrier's class. Sat on 50 yd-line every UF v UGa game from age 6 'til I moved far away. (Never rooted for UT.) Stay cozy.
PS>> Forget about Durty's threat. I've offered him my wife instead.
You (and your wife) are magnanimous beyond words!
