Hi All: Our realtor came over today and she already has a young couple interested in the house! As soon as she figures out the selling price, she is going to check with them first. It would be nice if they came, saw, took! That would save the realtor caravaning and having lots of people coming through the house. I just keep finding more stuff to go through! ARRGH! I've already got a very large box of needle art books, yarn, and other supplies, to take up to Lake of the Woods so Donna can give it all to AARP for their senior citizens to use. Another box will be started! Sandi

Anthony, You need a Standard Form 180 from the General Services Administration. This is the required "Request pertaining to Military Records". Most libraries have these - call the library in Hamilton to see if they have them. It can be photocopied. I did have the form but I don't think it would scan that well. You would get a DD214 for the Army/Air Force in WWII and I forget the ID for the Navy. If the library doesn't have the Form 180 let me know and I will find MY INFO and you can get it.

For four months we lived in a place named Lance, PA. The people there (population about 450) were very nice - you could leave your door open and come home to find home made bread or fresh veggies someone had left for you. As for rolling up the streets - well, first of all you had to drive to a neighboring town - bout 14 miles - to find a convenience store. A decent grocery store was an hour's drive - in good weather. But even the town with the decent grocery store closed everything up by 8 or 9 pm. It was quite an interesting experience - very relaxing and you do adjust. On the other hand, when we first moved from San Antonio to a small upstate New York town back in 1966, the people were not friendly and it was awful. I have such horrible feelings for the experience I still get very angry just thinking about it. I'd say check it out before making the commitment - it could be wonderful or unlivable.

Hey Anybody know a good place to search military records, preferably world war 2. Thanks Anthony __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com

Sounds like a great place! I am ready to move north. TX is running out of water. Air pollution is really bad and getting worse. Prices going ever higher. Haven't really decided on MO but it looks good. Draw a line through St.Louis East and West and anything along this line is a consideration. Sounds like you found a good place. The only constant in Metaphysics is change! You just have to find a place that changes into your specifications. New dog goes for heart worm treatment tomorrow. Hope everything turns out well. I can never get out of the "caretaker" mode! I would buy my cousin's house in Washington,MO but she sold most of the land that went with it. I would really rather be in the country on some acreage. I would like some real dirt!!! Went to a Civil War re-enactment over the weekend. They mentioned Picket's Charge as did Ken Burns "Civil War" on PBS. Next year is the 140th year of the Gettysburg Re-enactment. I am thinking about going. The Maupins lost so much family at Picket's charge. Ken Burn's PBS series even showed the rock wall where the Maupins died. It was a Massacre. I have a couple of table spoons of Maupin dirt from the Taliafero-Cole house in Williamsburg so need to add some Gettysburg "dirt" to the collection. I have been a medieval recreationist so it will be fun to move forward in time! I got offered a job sewing costumes as there are few people who know how to sew. I have a costume to make for a Renaissance Faire in Nov. in TX. My fabric is beautiful. Any Houston Maupins going to the Renaissance Faire this year in Magnolia,TX? Getting much needed rain. Cannot complain about the weather in TX this year. However,since El Nino has begun again it is time to use this coolness to full advantage! La Nina will give us a drought again. I wonder why this ~ is on my keyboard and I cannot use it where it belongs(over the second n in Nino and Nina). Dogs playing and barking and "singing" to each other. My new dog is funny looking. She defies description except to say-Terrier with Chihuahua eyes and a shorter muzzle,body like a Terrier or Whippet, hair and tail like a Basenji! My vet said she is healthy except for heart worms. He would not even guess as to her lineage!!! She is a sweetheart. I am her fourth home and she will stay with us. She only has to learn to leave the cats alone. If at all possible, The Ken Burns special on PBS "The Civil War" is a must see!!!! I wish I had taken notes.

Our copy was very clear. Easy to read, and as I said before - very interesting. The only hard part to read was the actual handwriting.
