Choctaw County is present and accounted for. Will miss you Marti. Hope your health will permit you to stay with us in some capacity. I second Billie's suggestion.. A get together is a great idea! ----------------------------------------------------- Ron Henson okchocta@yahoo.com Choctaw County Oklahoma GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~okchocta

Things keep changing, time keeps moving. Change is inevitable. Call me old fashioned, call me out of touch. I take longer in change over to get used to new leaders. My expectations for modern times, simple, I'm not moving as fast. I see more of the simple things that others moving fast miss. Modern trends say I'm suppose to be quicker. Through this site, I have come to admire the people I've encountered. They taught me to move at my own pace. From this location, the frozen north, that's probably a good thing. A simple desire to be of service to others out of state, a rare and valuable quality. The remarkable skill and ability to communicate along with the endless friendship, was a refreshing even wonderful exchange of knowledge. This shows my roots ... and ... I don't mean my colored-hair either. Their buried deep in Oklahoma soil. My heart is pining to come home. I was born in Oklahoma. I've missed a lot along with my brick walls located throughout the state. My heart is locked deep in S.E. Oklahoma. Marti, I won't have a chance to make the reunion. I have wanted to meet many of you and in particular, the instrument that kept the site going. As Billie mentioned I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you on being a survivor. A functional survivor at that. God Bless. May the follower in your footsteps have soft tread. Soft enough to not bury the good endeavors under foot but, firm enough to continue a good stride forward.
