   Hi, Mark Lewis!   
   I read your message from 14.10.2019 16:26   
      
    AK>> -----Beginning of the citation-----   
    AK>> The Carraways are something of a clan, and we have a tradition   
    AK>> that we're descended from the Dukes of Buccleuch, but the actual   
    AK>> founder of my line was my grandfather's brother, who came here in   
    AK>> fifty-one, sent a substitute to the Civil War, and started the   
    AK>> wholesale hardware business that my father carries on to-day.   
    AK>> ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
    AK>> What is "a substitute to the Civil War"?   
      
    ML> he was called to fight in the war but sent someone else in his   
    ML> stead... it was a common thing to do back in that time period...   
      
   It occurred to me  -- at that time you should find a man who was not obligated   
   to the draft himself. But if that man is a strong, healthy guy -- why he is   
   free from the draft? ;)   
      
   Bye, Mark!
