Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Interesting family secrets coming to light. My grandfather, who was officially a high level bureaucrat at the USDA, was actually a high level company man. We had heard that his retirement in 1973 was partially motivated by the increasing scope of the Watergate coverup, now it makes a bit more sense.

I don't think so, but he knew Nixon since before he became president and considering my grandfather's position I suspect he could figure out what was going on.

...can I call you "toots" ? I like it, it seems to fit....I'm only 65, but I've always been very mature for my age, toots.
