OT...Might as well throw my two cents in about Huntsville. Back in the summer of "71" I put my wife and two kids in the car and headed south to Huntsville, Ala. My wife was 8 months pregnant and she wasn't to happy about changing doctors with one month to go.

I was working for IBM at the time and took a temporary assignment to work on the Sky Lab project. I was suppose to be there for 3 months, so we decided the whole family should go. Needless to say, my son was born on time and 2 weeks later they told me I needed to go to Washington D.C. for 3 months to get trained on a new computer. So we were there for a total of a month and a half instead of three months. So back home we went for two weeks and then I left my wife for 3 months with three little kids to take care of. She still hasn't forgiven me for putting her through that.

Our memories of Huntsville are not to fond. It rained and lightened I think the whole time we were there. My son still claims to be a Alabamian even though he was only there for two weeks.
