… I am 82 years old… Come from a Southern heritage and I am proud of it…  The slogan for my site, www.bigrebsworld@gmail.com, is “Southern Pride NOT Hatred”.  My family, the Gray’s, Sweet’s, Catron’s and Harmon’s settled in the Appalations (Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee) in the early 1700’s… My great great grandfather (John Tevis Gray) served in the 37^th Virginia (the Stonewall Brigade)… The Sweet’s (Alexander, Moses and Thomas) served in the Virginia Militia during the years of the American Revolution… They were farmers, NOT slave owners. Over my working years I spent about 15 in the newspaper and publishing business… I have been a Chamber of Commerce Manager, Chief Administrative Assistant to California Assemblyman Marty G. Martinez… Served on two Montebello City Commissions including several years on the 51^st Assembly Crime Commission… I have been a reserve police officer as well as a reserve fireman both in the city and county where I lived… I am a Conservative/ Libertarian… I believe in less government and more individual responsibility… One of my favorite sayings is “your rights begin and end at my nose and toes”… I am not afraid to speak my mind or voice my point of view…

Remember, “An ARMED society, is a FREE society”…
