Michael, I think I introduced you to the term "rock-ribbed Republican." If you go to Google and input the term in quotes, you will get definitions that will give you a good explanation. In some ways it is the equivalent of "Yellow Dog Democrat," someone who will vote for a Yellow Dog if one is the Democratic candidate. Since we first exchanged notes, almost four years ago, I have done a lot of reading about North Georgia and her churches. There were a number of places that even burned wartime records and many, many churches where people did not mention the war or where Civil War service is not on tombstones, and there are some church graveyards showing service for both sides. If I could climb into a time machine for one day, I would want to be there when my g-granddad and his brothers made their decision - it has been part of the family for 140 years now. My dad enlisted for WW II in Tennessee in the area where his uncles had signed up for the Union.
