Hi Sandy, I am an American living in the UK. I've been here about 30 years. I was born on Staten Island, New York. My great-grandparents, Charles Jackson Andrews and Jennie Hazeltine split up in either Titusville or Philadelphia sometime between 1900 and 1905. He ended up in Pittsburgh while Jennie and her children moved east. - Ed Edward Coates Sinker Church Lea Bosbury, Herefordshire HR8 1PX UK

Carol, Thank your for your comments and suggestions about obtaining a will. It is always useful to hear of the experiences of others. Cheers, Ed Edward Coates Sinker Church Lea Bosbury, Herefordshire HR8 1PX UK

AN ENCOURAGING WORD Below is an e-mail from a young ensign aboard the USS Winston Churchill to his parents. (Churchill is an Arleigh Burke-class AEGIS guided missile destroyer, commissioned March 10, 2001, and is the only active U.S. Navy warship named after a foreign national.) > Dear Dad, > We are still at sea. The remainder of our port visits have all been > canceled. We have spent every day since the attacks going back and forth within imaginary boxes drawn in the ocean, standing high security watches, and trying to make the best of it. We have seen the articles and the photographs, and they are sickening. Being isolated, I don't think we appreciate the full scope of what is happening back home, but we are definitely feeling the effects. > > > About two hours ago, we were hailed by a German Navy destroyer, Lutjens, requesting permission to pass close by our port side. Strange,since we're in the middle of an empty ocean, but the captain acquiesced and we prepared to render them honors from our bridge wing. As they were making their approach, our conning officer used binoculars and announced that Lutjens was flying not the German, but the American flag. As she came alongside us, we saw the American flag flying half-mast and her entire crew topside standing at silent, rigid attention in their dress uniforms. They had made a sign that was displayed on her side that read, "We Stand By You." There was not a dry eye on the bridge as they stayed alongside us for a few minutes and saluted. It was the most powerful thing I have seen in my life. The German Navy did an incredible thing for this crew, and it has truly been the highest point in the days since the attacks. It's amazing to think that only half century ago things were quite different. > After Lutjens pulled away, the Officer of the Deck, who had been planning to get out later this year, turned to me and said, 'I'm staying Navy.' I'll write you when I know more about when I'll be home, but this is it for now. > > "Love you guys." > > And here's a picture of what that scene looked like: Go to : > > http://www.wnd.com/images2/germanship.jpg > > > > > > > *************************************************************************** > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The materials attached hereto are confidential and > the property of the sender.

Now that is interesting. My mother was born in Pittsburgh (1908) but was raised in Co. Down Northern Ireland (1914-36). I thought it was an Irish thing. Nora > 1. You walk carefully when it is "slippy" outside. >

If anyone on the list has had any experience with this department and has any do or don't suggestions for me I would very much like to know what they are. - Ed

And listers, they have at Olgelby Park (Wheeling PArk) a X-mas display that had been REALLY BEautiful! Are they still having it ya all? I haven't been there in the area since 1987, so I wouldn't know, but if anyone in the Pgh area gets a chance it'd be worth the drive over the X-mas holidays for the kids or grandkids visiting! I had gone took pics back then.
