Yes I've definitely heard of the Windtalkers and the very important part they played in WWII. Now regarding the Tuscarora Printup family, I've heard that name like forever. They were and still are a respected family in the tribe. I must admit however, that I can't recall the Aarons family. Over the years I'm continually reminded of the old Tuscarora families; the Printups, the Greenes, the Mt. Pleasants, the Hills and it pleases me that I still recognize those names the minute I read about them. However, in most recent years those names seem to pop up in the local police reports in the worst way. I've always been interested in getting to know the local Indians and actually sitting down and talking with one of them about their history, their language and their genealogy. But I have a strong feeling that they aren't all that receptive to talking about such personal information with someone who isn't an Indian him/herself. Oh your brothers were the luckiest boys in the world to have been taught to hunt with a bow and arrow from a real Tuscarora Indian! How I envy them. vee
