Gee Mike, you sure that you're not a close blood relative of
Art?...(hint - in case you missed it - BTDT)

Ya' never know, but after all's said and done if I did happen
to be related to Art I would consider it an honor just as I'm
honored to be related to my great-grandfather who immigrated
from Ireland (changed the name from O'Marron to Marron) and
fought on the union side during the American Civil War...two uncles
who served in WW2 (one flew P-40's and -47's and downed two
Japanese and the other was a marine "BTDT" grunt when they
raised Old Glory on Iwo Jima's Mt. Suribachi)...and my ol' man
who flew combat SAR including an undisclosed number of
"cloak and dagger" sorties over North Vietnam and Laos...
