I have some ancestors that were actors, architects, astronauts, Afro-American, 
authors, bank robbers, boxers, comedians, detectives, ghosts, holocaust survivors
Indian chiefs, pro hockey players, singers and musicians, painters, physicians, 
politicians, poets, popes, writers, WW I heroes.  I guess that I am a collection of 
all of them, as we ALL are.
