The October 61 Surprise!!


Thank you Joyce for the idea and Uncle Bill for supplying this truly unique piece of family history. If you can read the text you may get a laugh out of some factual errors included in the piece. Maybe the writer got his facts while conducting interviews in the "waiting room" with dads over a few cold ones???

Welcome to the blog Laura!!!

Your awesome admin was a bit tardy on getting you an account now wasn't he.. but hey I support the redmin and have enjoyed his contributions to the blog. But as admin I do need to be responsive to all our users and some issues and allegations were brought t my attention by "blogger x" that should be addressed so I brought it up for discussion with the whole clan community. Of course now I've gotten reports of bribery and intmidation but they need to be invesigated further....
