I agree, we do owe them a lot, our very freedom and our lives! My father, uncles and brother all served! But I also served as a brat of the gov't in Iran before and up to the Revolution. All who have served deserve a thank you today and every day. I see my uncle who has shell shock from Viet Nam and I wonder if we have done our best. Please, just tell someone who has served thank you, they just want to know we know what they did! Lisa Ann Dobravolsky Coultrup Brat since 1963
Hi, I work at the local V. A. Medical Center here in Boise, Id. I see first hand how it has taken its toll on the vets. At this point we still have a one WW I vet. He is 104 years old! He is frail but still able to function on a limited amount. We very seldom see a Korean Vet. Mostly WW II and Viet Nam. By working the night shift I have time to talk to them when they have trouble sleeping. It does not seem to matter wheather they are Generals or Privates-----they still have memories of the wars that they have to deal with. I have been luck to know a lot of interesting veterans. We owe our vets a lot! It takes a strong person to have the ability to do some of the "special" missions that was required of them. Thank You Vets! Marian Alvis Boise, Id.

OOps I made an error. I meant to ask about the div. rec. of one Charles Bell LOVE, my grandfather about 1908 or so. Thanks, Sue in Al.
The dangers of forwards !!!!! I 'm not sure if this is true (the story part) but I do often wonder why people leave prior recipients on email forwards...especially those not business' related! Not to mention what a pain it is to scroll through tons of headers, etc. If you are like me, you may have had unsolicited mail that could have come from a friend of a friend of a friend who forwarded your address through cyber space into infinity. There is a simple way we can prevent this from continuing. . . So..if you don't do anything else today...read this! em :) IMPORTANT!!! I've tried to tell people this, but I keep receiving messages with long lists of prior recipients. Maybe, the message below will give a better perspective of things. This is a practice I almost always use! I may have missed 1 or 2 here or there but not many! This really is an important message because I have noticed that many of my friends send me things that they have received from other friends. While it seems easy to just lick forward and put our friend's names in the TO field of our email program's address box, it really is a dangerous thing to do. This story illustrates just how dangerous it can be. Please read it. (I am placing these instructions before the story so that you will know how to forward your email in the future.) Before you forward this message or any other message to someone, please do the following: (NOT HARD TO DO) 1. REMOVE all email addresses that were forwarded or sent to you on the message. Use the delete key, or the editing functions on your email program after you hit the Forward key. 2. DO NOT use the TO field to send the mail on. USE the BCC field. This means "Blind Carbon Copy". It will list only the name of each individual receiver on the email. NOBODY ELSE'S email address will be shown. TO USE BCC: Simply click BCC instead of TO. It works just the same. If you add names from your address book, just add them to the BCC field instead of the TO field. As an added bonus of using this feature, your email message won't have all those addresses at the beginning. No one will have to scroll through the addresses to get to the message That you have sent. Please take the time to read this. It could prove to be Very important. The following individual asked not to be identified, but she asked that this letter be forwarded to anyone who does not bcc (blind carbon copy) online... and to spread the word. Please read this: Late one evening, while online, I received an IM (Internet message) from a gentleman who said he knew me through mutual pals online. We chatted for an hour or so before deciding to keep in touch, as we had so many things in common. I eventually, after a week or so of knowing him, trusted him with my name (first name) and phone number; after all, he knew my friends and I felt he must have been ok if they all liked and knew him. He knew a lot about them, he knew a lot about me, and he knew a lot about a lot! He seemed like such a nice person, a pleasant person, and someone whom I felt very comfortable sharing my time online (and on the phone) with. One night, a friend from our group of friends invited me to a chat room where several of the friends had gathered and were chatting when this gentleman popped into the chat room. He popped in and then left quickly. Then, for the first time since I met and started chatting with him, I mentioned him to one of the friends who was in the chat room one whom this gentleman claimed association with. She was in total awe, she did not know who he was! Things were beginning to look really suspicious. The more she and I chatted, the more suspicious it became. It also became apparent that this guy knew none of us. Suddenly, he disappeared off line for a few days...then one day he pops back in and sends me an IM saying that we need to talk. He called me at my home and I was very upset, so I asked him how he really found me and why he had felt the need to lie in the first place. This is where you all need to pay attention: He told me that he spotted my screen name on a forward that one of my friends sent to someone else. My screen name is what attracted him. He then used the screen name of others on the list of forwards to acquaint himself with me and various others from our clique of friends. He also used the member directory (at AOL) to look up info about others on the list of forwards, so not to look suspicious. He said he felt it was the only way he would have the chance to get to know me, and the main attraction to me was "My Screen name" because he thought it was "sexy!" I was upset, needless to say, as I had trusted this man with my personal info...such as phone number and name. He also knew where I lived (thanks to the phone bill) and I was now his prey! A few days after having last talked to this person and thinking that was the last of him, I received a phone call at 4:00 a.m., it has this man telling me he was in town to see a friend who lived 20 minutes from my house, and wanted to know if I would like to meet him for coffee or breakfast. When I told him it was not such a good idea, he became irate and hung up on me. I immediately called him back (caller ID) and explained to him that my husband was back home (trying to scare him) and please not be so mad (in fear of him and what he might do). Telling him that my husband had returned and we were reconciling was a lie, and I told him this to make him think I was not alone! Imagine the feeling I felt in the pit of my stomach when he came back with the following response "You're a lying bitch, your husband is not there with you...you are alone!" I hung up on him and immediately called the Broward County Sheriff's office and told them what had happened. They sent an officer over to take a report and said that was really all they could do for me at that time. So, I packed a few belongings into my car, and drove to my sister's home for the night. Fifteen or twenty minutes after I arrived at her home, I received a phone call from this man again! He knew I called the Sheriff and reported him, he knew where I was and he knew my sister and her husband's names! People, let me tell you something, this man had been stalking me for weeks and I had no idea! I walked, ate, slept and breathed in constant fear until he was finally arrested for stalking! Not for stalking me! Nope! For stalking another lady who lived in Kendall, FL. I wanted to share this with you all. And yes, it is all true. Friends, when you forward things and you leave your friends names out in plain view like that, you are putting THEM and YOURSELF in what could be grave danger. I hope I have gotten this message across; as I have not even begun to mention his assault (rape, using deadly force) charges the detectives from Broward County and Kendall, FL uncovered on him while investigating his prior history! People, please! Be safe, be careful and BLIND CARBON COPY(BCC)! This is NOT a joke and NOT a hoax. PLEASE REMEMBER: It is Important to *remove ALL personal email when forwarding items from this, or any other list to individuals or other discussion groups (unless the mssage asks readers to contact them via email or phone). Remember, a lot of us have a great deal of information in our sig's (signature files that appear at the bottom of many of our messages). In addition, the blind carbon copy (Bcc) option makes the individuals you send email to unseen by all other recipients E-mailers should also cut email addresses from forwards when forwarding the message on. I know I have received unsolicited e-mails from individuals who have gotten my address via a forwarded message from this group. Although more annoying than serious, it could have been worse. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Would like to get some info. as to where to write for a divorce record of my grandfather, charles Bell LOVE sometime after 1900 and before 1910 in Enid, Ok. He went there from Memphis; would the oil rush have started by then? Thanks, Sue in Al.
His name would be John Franklin Ackerman. They called him Frank. His obit said he was an active member of the Church, serving on many boards in Nabraska and Iowa.Ruth Ann

Kathryn, Thanks for the tip. I have ordered the 1910 Garfield Co. census but will check earlier census also. I have ordered a 1900 soundex for the Gunning name and hope I'll be able to learn something from that. I do know that they moved from IL to OK in early1900-1902, so I'm hoping that will narrow my search. Thanks again, Angie ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathryn Swearingen To: OKGARFIE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, April 14, 2000 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [OKGARFIE] Fw: GUNNING Hi! None, I would suggest that you do an indepth search of the Federal Census Records. I have found most of the needed information from them. Where was the family in each of the Census years, 1900, 1910, and 1920's? Have you found their families (or Surnames in the 'old home place' on the 1880 Census? The 1900 really is great for getting dates on the children's births. I searched for a number of years for my gggrandparents, (SCHOONOVER). One day, I decided to follow the rivers from West Virginia to Indian Territory (OK). I already had them in all prior years through 1860. I knew they left WV in mid-1860's and ended up in Muskogee IT by 1872. They weren't in WV in 1870. Having heard a talk on migrations, I decided to go to the river and look at every state that touched the Ohio River, then down the Mississippi River. I had earlier looked here and there and didn't find them. By starting with WV, then OH, IN, IL, KY, MO, and AR, checking each Index, I found them on the 1870 Census in the Southwest corner of Missouri. They were not on a major river or even a small river. But, I found them. If that river hadn't taken me to them, I would have found rivers going south and across to IT. If I hadn't done this step by step the way I did, I might still be looking for them. As you can tell, I am a big fan of the Census Records. Even if you find them on one census, find them on every Census that they were alive. Things change with each Census, such as, Ages, State they were born, State that their parents were born, how many years married, or how many children the mother has had and how many are still alive. Each Census could produce more children and their births. I hope this gives you some ideas to follow. Let me know if you find anything. My other ggrandmother who was in Enid in 1910, Mary Cuthbert Mangum/Mangan, disappeared from the local directory in 1912. I assumed she died. She was only 45 when my ggrandfather died in Muskogee in 1909. It never entered my mind that she might marry again. It should have. I was a widow for seven years and on my 60th Birthday got married. Wow, I sure felt dumb when I saw her name in the Marriage Liscenes Book. This was several years later when I found her marriage information. I was looking for her death certificate and also marriage records of her three daughtes and a sister, in the Enid Court House and found that in 1911 she married a Hiram Tarr. She didn't die but married. She is still missing but now I have another lead to follow. My husband retires today and we are looking forward to doing all the genealogiecal trips that we have wanted to do. We'll come back to OK and this time find Mary Cuthbert Mangum/Mangan Tarr. Good Luck. Thanks for reading this, I got kind of carried away.
