Question #8 from Mike

Was it just a great/classic Morris Foster tale that we're partly descended from Lenape Indians? Does this fall into the failed Betty Crocker cake mix category of Morris' tales? Said for effect to achieve an impact?

(One of the things I think I said once that made him and Ann laugh was that when Mom-Mom's family voyaged to the New World, Pop-Pop's family was here to greet them.); 1:57 PM
