    Welcome Latherunner. I'm from Appomattox, central Va. Good bunch of people here. Cost me a bundle of money trying to save by reloading and casting. As 1 of the guys said, "I'm sure I'll start saving soon."

    40 miles from Roanoke is close enough.

    Yankee's???? If I recall correctly, Ricky, Richmond was the Capital of the Confederacy. NC was just there to provide cannon fodder.
