Hi Charlie,

First a little fun,

You wouldn't be any relation to The Rev Charlie Morrison
now would you. ((OK OK only a Joke)). It's fun to see
people with the same first name or last name on Jon's

and a young guy from London, UK are two of the many who
share my first name and we are each "Beloved and Dance"
