This one has an explanation of 'redneck' I had not heard before.

Barbara:
Thanks for the links Stu.  Did you know the other story of the term of 'rednecks'?  It's from farmers getting a sunburn on the back of their necks from bending over their plows and whatever in the daily tasks of  working their farms.

Barbara

Graham Thompson:
Ive heard of that story.

Donna:
Hi Stu,

I'm enjoying the Maine Ulster Scots web site!
Thanks!

Donna
