Great freinds, Guard Brothers, men I admire, and Fambly...Ma Sweeney (Colleen my mom) & The Long Suffering Barbara (my wife..still!! Of 25 yrs ha ha.) Refinishing our Oak staircase wall that had been rediscovered on the Old Farmhouse gut.  Buried under sheet rock with many layers of paint, Mom and Barb stripped it with Civilian Napalm, Rock Miracle.  They labored many nights a week with toothbrushes and dental pics making it perfect  then the stained and poly'd it.  Many Coffees, Marlboro
And Merlot later, it was reborn.  It touch it as I walk by it to remember mom. My New York Guard Platoon 14th Brooklyn Red Legs 1/63 Brigade
"Baptized by Fire"  christened in the Civil War.  The Southern Troops were in shock when U.S. Grant sent "Those crazy, Red-Legged Devils" at them during a stalemate. Stalemate broken!
