Darn stingray! I have three brothers and one that is a Catholic priest! He is an awesome man of God!I grew up in St. Charles Il. along the fox river. I am happiest when i am visiting Hawaii.

You know, whenever I speak, people inadvertently ask me…”What actually happened in the Roswell Incident?” Well, we don’t really know, because it is all classified. What we DO know is that nine months later Al Gore was born!
