It is great to see hear that the people of the town really liked them. JK is really blessed with having a wonderful, supportive family.

One odd thought -- back in 2004, the question of the election was "Who would you rather have a beer with?" - not only was this odd because W was a reformed alcoholic who did not drink, but now we learn that JK was the great grandson of a master brewer - as well as someone who many here found was fun to have a beer with. Imagine if JK and his family knew that history in 2004.
