John Wesley is the founder of the Methodist Church. John Wesley Hardy was featured in the Time Life book collection on the Old West as a guy who was so mean he on once shot a man for snoring too loud. These books were advertised on TV in the 1970s.

19. AME= African Methodist Episcopal

21. I knew that you knew.
But I also knew that others reading this might not know.

There are things that we know we know, things we know that we do not know and things that we do not know that we do not know. :-)
