HIya Ray!

Texas is about 4 States "West" of My Neck of the Woods, but I really Love those Texans. (My Brother Doug is married to a Dallas Lady, 20-some years now, lives & works in Big D.) They're a Straight-Shootin' FUN Buncha Folks (remind me a LOT of You Aussies!) and I got TONS of Great Memories of all the MANY Fan Collectors Annual Confabs we've had together over the years in Dallas and Houston.

Texans aren't afraid of Bein' "Different" 'cuz they're ALL Pretty "Unique" to begin with. Dunno if they've ever forgiven the Alaskans for comin' in "Late" with a Bigger State, but the Texans STILL got the Biggest Hearts! (Write some Great Songs there...like Susan Gibson's "WIDE OPEN SPACES"...etc.!)

Glad t'hear you're Smilin' after this Read...Mission Accomplished!

Thanks..& a Big Guy-Hug!
Stan
