Born in Macon Georgia. Met a wonderful British lady while playing spades one day..and the rest is history!
Hope to get back to Georgia soon -- I miss being able to buy simple things like Crisco (or any kind for that matter!) shortening, Corn Meal, SNOW CRAB!!! I love "smoke cooking", that's not so easy over here either!
