    Well, welcome to the site. I was raised in NC and transplanted to KY after 23 years in the Army.

    Good bunch here for the most part and loads of experience in casting. Just jump on in as we're all friends here./beagle

    Welcome aboard Blood Trail !!! I've been on this site for over a year now and have barely scratched the surface yet. Still learned a lot but plenty more to learn yet.

    Many Texans weren't native born, but got here as soon as they could. My Great grandfather was born in Germany and had the good sense to come here in 1903. Some ancestors on the other side saw Columbus arrive. Welcome.

    I'm another one that got here as quick as I could. Welcome, from another newbie. I'm over on East Texas, hiding in the Piney Woods of Upshur County.
