These two photos are of Landon Whitt. Yes, there is another one! He is a Texas State Trooper
(like our Highway Patrol) and lives in Austin. I just recently found out that he is now in Afghanistan
with the U.S. Air Force 782nd Expeditionary Security Forces. Will keep up with him via Facebook and
have let him know that we Whitts here in North Carolina are wishing him the best.

We toured the 2009 N.C. State Fair
Here's the big Dorton Arena. We got to see Monica Laliberte of WRAL-TV.
Don't call 911! They just doing some down home cooking. Shirley posed with a hotdog.
And this looks like a fire in a barrel but it an't. Was lights, flapping cloth, and steam.
That is Brian Shrader of WRAL on the left and big mechnical guy on right was unknown to us.
"Step right up and win a little birdie!" Toward the end the
waterfalls sure looked inviting. If nobody was around I would have jumped in and rested my legs. We were tuckered out!

Cousin Diane sent me a big email about how great bananas are for all sorts of conditions and ailments. Was too big to
add to this webpage but I do want to include this little word of advice - Eat a banana or use one on your body to help
alleviate or soothe whatever affliction ails you. It just may work! For details just email me and I'll forward her
information to you.

The following question was asked on Golo (Raleigh TV station's local online community):
Why are the illegals from Mexico coming here when it seems
like most of the jobs from the US are being moved to Mexico?
