Since Wilbur & Orville didn't fly till 1908... (Even though my kids think it, I wasn't there to see), I would suspect it was a blimp. Or (he is in my family tree) he may have had a wee bit too much to drink that day and was imagining things. No doubt a strange thing to witness at the turn of the century. George Young

Thanks for the logical critique. And I needed the laugh this morning. Thanks to migraines, I never have any alcohol -- so seeing those with a "wee bit too much to drink" is quite hilarious to those of us that are sober. ----- Original Message ----- From: <OLDHIKER50@aol.com> To: <INSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [INSHELBY] SALLA > > Since Wilbur & Orville didn't fly till 1908...
