Dear All As a Thanksgiving Dinner, I do not much about this, though suspect the native American's don't quite see the coming of the settlers in the same light as the settlers do of themselves. Speaking from the Old country, and presuming I had a suitable celebration, I think I would like to invite My Great Grandmother, Hannah Jordan (b.1876), a most magnificent lady, whom unfortunately I never met. She was a wonderful person, full of love and charm, who captivated every audience. My question would be to her, Why did she meet the British Prime Minster and where? I think I would have like to have met the Marquis of Salisbury as well. This is all family legend and was always spoken in whispers. I am still unsure of the story, or even if there was one - but it would be fun to find out. I think I would have liked to have had dinner in their dining room of their Victorian House in Leeds. I am sorry to say its been replaced by concrete block houses now - only a single wall remains of the Stables, incorporated into a garden wall. The only mental picture I have, I never got to meet my GGparents, is of my GGFather sitting in his chair, in profile to a picture of Churchill on the wall - trying to look like him (well a thinner version anyway). My GGF died about 1951. His son in law, my Grandfather was completely the other colour politically. - Both really nice blokes though ( I was lucky enough to spend a little time with my GFather before he passed away).
