Looks like we finally got around to taking a family photo late last year. You can see the entire family in our full glory. Jay and Kathie in the back. Erik, Leah, Jacob, and Ben arrayed up front.

Soccer 2003

This is the 'Sweety Face', my daughter Leah Michele Haygood. She was 3 years old in this picture. This is a photo the day before her ballet recital. She did very well and we enjoyed it. Of course she was the cutest thing on the stage!

My sister just had her first child, Durham Patterson King, on 01 November 2000. He was born in Chattanooga TN. Go see his father's website for his pictures...

I am a member of the Grand Lodge of Georgia's Masonic Lodge #42 Tucker. The Masonic Lodge has been in existance for thousands of years. My father was a Mason, as his father before him, and his before him. The Masons Ideal is something you believe in; In Your Heart. No one makes you join. No one asks you to join. Contact a Mason. He will talk to you about it...

"Only a Dad"
Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959)

Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.

Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
