Do you remember this? It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they played an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning! He was being drilled by some senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?" Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir." The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience," Isn't that just a little excessive?" "No, sir," continued Ollie. "No? And why not?" the senator asked. "Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir" "Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned. "By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered. "Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?" "His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied. At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. "Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked. "Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered. "And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator. "Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth." The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip. If anyone is interested, the senator was none other than Al Gore. ==== GEN-FRIENDS Mailing List ==== Visit List General Archives at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GEN-FRIENDS ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Some years ago when living in Merseyside we had a cat but she was run over by a car and had to be put down.Some years passed and we moved back to Yorkshire. One Winter's night we had been watching TV until the early hours. I went into the kitchen and saw a small face peering at me through the glass panel in the door. At the time it was snowing very heavily. I let the cat, a ginger tom, into the house, gave it a tin of sardines with some ground up cereal and some milk. I made sure to open the sardine tin first as I wasn't sure that the cat could cope with the tin opener. The cat was in beautiful condition and well fed. We made many enquiries in the town but although several people in the area said that they had seen the cat, no-one could say that they knew the owner. The cat, which we called Fred, stayed with us for many years before dying peacefully as I was taking it to the Vet.
