thanks BOF. i hope one day you get to see some gorillas before they become extinct in the wild. they are incredibly endangered.... and they are awesome and peaceful creatures. we can learn alot from them.

I am Rawk, named after my family's farm in Devon called Rawkerhayne which we owned from 700 years ago. I am descended from an elder son who was struck out of his father's will with 2 shillings for marrying a girl at the age of 34 of whom his father disapproved. He had to move away and leave that village, relocating at Ottery St Mary some 20 miles west.

This happened some 500 years ago, the farm and lands went to the younger son.

Today there is no trace of my family there. The present owner was kind enough to let me look around in 2000. I still feel bitter at my ancestral great grandfather for what he did for all my fathers.

Patriarchial old git!
