Huzzah for Nelson, and all he wrought for England and America. *descendant of Nelson, on my mother's side*

Kudos to you. Being related to Nelson on my grandmother's side, I enjoyed your site.

TanJent, thankee indeed. I'm honored to have a descendant of the Hero of Trafalgar call here at Triple P.
