For Jeanie and anyone else that might be confused: I did not abandon Attala County, I simply moved it to a new location and a less political environment. You can find the "old" Attala County site under a new banner by clicking on the link below: http://attala.msghn.org/ Be sure to bookmark this location or place it in your favorites.

This group has been quiet for a while so I thought I would throw out a suggestion for those with itchy typing fingers. I have started a project and it was suggested that I share this with others who are interested in genealogy. This may sound a little self absorbed until you think about the reasons for doing it. I am writing a book about my life. ...Now, I am not expecting it to ever make the best seller list, be published or even be read by others any time soon. I'm doing it for posterity. As I researched and organized my genealogy information, I got to wondering what kind of lives my ancestors lived. What had they done during their lifetime and where did they travel? What were they interested in? What were their thoughts of the world and who were their friends? What did they find humorous and what sadness did they endure? I have been typing my book on Microsoft Word and adding old photos of myself as a child with my parents, grandparents and siblings. Photos of the first home I owned and my first new car. I sometimes cover several years in a chapter, like when I was younger, and later on I would cover one year in some chapters. Hopefully a few generations from now someone may be interested in some of the things I did, the places I have been and the things I have seen. I grew up as a military brat and lived around the world. I sometimes went to school in old military Barracks and Quonset huts. In the Philippines we visited a reservation where head hunters(Negretos)lived and I have old photos my parents took to include in the story. In Okinawa we visited old Japanese Castles and explored old WWII gun batteries with the rusty old cannons still in them. When we lived in the Philippines we lived a few blocks from a jungle and my mother worried about Boa Constrictors crawling out and getting us as we played outside. We moved from this tropical jungle area, straight to Caribou, Maine in the middle of January, where the temps were often well below zero. I remember when Sputnik was launched and the first man landing on the moon. I remember when President Kennedy was assassinated and the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade centers. On the humorous side, I probably should not mention attending a wedding with friends in a nudist colony, arriving early to get a seat well off to the side, and then realizing way too late, after other guest started arriving, that the wedding ceremony itself was not nude. Try sneaking out of a situation like that without drawing too much attention to yourself. ...Not possible. It has been quite therapeutic at times writing my story. I was surprised at some of the things I remembered, and remembered in such detail. I was also surprised at some of the things I had trouble remembering. It was nice writing about good memories and quite hard to write about sad times like going through and recovering from a divorce. I have suggested this book writing idea to friends who had strokes, are recovering from physical setbacks and others who just have spare time on their hands. They all have loved the idea and are really enjoying their writing. I thought my book would go pretty quick, but it is getting quite lengthy. I continually go back to edit and add new things I suddenly remember. I do recommend giving this a try. I believe you will really get into it. You can go into as much detail as you like or as little as you like. It's your book and your story. Have fun. ...Mical
