yes bob, her married name is merle atkins russell. don't know much about her but she'd be about 50 by now. first learned of her in chet's bio, forgotten where though.

yes, it would be nice (kewl, in the modern vernacular) to meet and swap stories but be forewarned, an irishman is apt to stretch the truth a wee tad. its an irish law, me thinks. any story passing an irishman's lips over a quaff o'ale must, by law, be well seasoned with leprechaun feces. but, so long as ye have a properly fitted feces filter, t'would be great fun. unfortunately, a stroke left me both paralyzed and mute so this may by the only means of communication available to us.

got anymore pickin' to share?
