However, being of Scots, Irish, and Cherokee derivation, I call things UK
what they be, Scots, Irish, English, Welsh and so on. And things American
Indian are more specific with me as well. Which Indians? Cherokee, Apache,
Pamunkey? I suppose it all boils down to your point of view eh? Of course in
other countries one can say of himself "I am thus and so" Being as most US
citizens; a person of mixed blood, I can only say I am me! Oh and just to
keep the thread revolving around Railroading............Business is up a
tick on the C&O Business Unit! Yippeeee!
