aim in life is to help, who is hard working and uncompromising in his efforts

to improve the lot of his friends, and foe alike, is cheery full of bon mots ,

gifted in languages , well that is you to a tee mate and we all love you for it .

You have quite an International background having lived in many exotic

places and are from a wonderful culture which shines out from you , well done

Virginia is a beautiful state. The App. Trail runs the whole length of it, following the Appalachian Mountain range of which the Blue Ridge are a part. If you don't feel like hiking you can drive the Blue Ridge Pkwy to Skyline Drive!. Gorgeous :) - ajaks, Feb 2, 2012
