   Howdy! Paul,   
      
   I like using Wikipedia to learn about things too.   
      
   What is written on Wiki pages is by volunteers (Not Tennesseans).   
      
   Last year I saw something in one of the pages that I 'remembered'   
   differently than what was on that page, so I Joined Wikipedia.   
      
   When I started to Edit the page there was a note that Editing the   
   page was LOCKED until some later date.   
   I never remembered to go back and do it (darn ROUNDTUITs), and even   
   forgot what page it was that I wanted to Edit.   
   And That's The Truth!   
      
   No one has to exaggerate about me, just telling it as it was (is) is   
   bad enough!

    PQ> I bet you were called 'Bad Boy Ed' in grade school.  ;-)   
      
   Nope!, that was in Junior High School.

   While watching the John Wayne youtube video, over on the right side   
   I saw one by Red Skelton and just had to watch that one too.   
      
   We watched the Mary Poppins movie we recorded when it was shown on TV   
   and when I saw Ed Wynn I got a BIG GRIN seeing him floating up near the   
   ceiling.   
   IIRC, Ed Wynn had a Piano Bicycle which he played.   
   Did I pass the memory check? Did He?   
      
   ... I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the June Flower.
