Jack, one of my favorite readers sent me this e-mail...and having been born near Van Gogh's old environs, I got a good laugh out of it, hope you found it as amusing as I did.
Van Gogh's Family Tree:
Just in case you do not know who Van Gogh was, he was a very well-known
and famous artist - did many valuable paintings. I found this very
delightful and entertaining. Hope you do, too.
