    Ty but it will be a challenge in some ways. Whenever the family left the Amish situation for Baltimore sometime in the late 1800's for whatever reason yet to be uncovered we are nothing like them. We'll see where it goes but at some point there is nothing more to find out.

    When I did that garage door run, every 2 weeks for 3 yrs, I stayed at the same hotels all the time. One place I stayed at every other week for 5 months, the owner knew me by name, when I called to make the reservation, he already had me in the system. Made sure the parking are was open enough for me to get too (they had specific truck parking) and knew which two rooms I preferred. All my customers I was on great terms with, the one place, I even knew the wives of the two guys who owned/worked there. One of the other places, when my truck broke down I was stuck there for 4 days, I took the 4 installers and foreman out to dinner at the strip club. We were on that good of terms.
