    I have some ancestors that were actors, architects, astronauts, Afro-American, authors, bank robbers, boxers, comedians, detectives, ghosts, holocaust survivors
    Indian chiefs, pro hockey players, singers and musicians, painters, physicians,
    politicians, poets, popes, writers, WW I heroes. I guess that I am a collection of
    all of them, as we ALL are.
