Hello Fellow Listers I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Great Day on Thursday Regards Pat R Thanksgiving is.... Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude to God, our Creator and Provider, whose guidance and care go before us... and whose love is with us forever. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the changes, to remember that we, too, grow and change from one season of life to another. Thanksgiving is a time of changing seasons, when leaves turn golden in Autumn's wake and apples are crisp in the first chill breezes of fall. Let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving. As we see the beauty of Autumn, let us acknowledge the many blessings which are ours... let us think of our families and friends.. and let us give thanks in our hearts. Author Unknown A Happy Thanks giving to Everyone & their family!

Back vacation with a new e-mail address. Drove through Adamsville. What a shame to see Manchesters Store gone Bob Searchin' for a past Ô¿Ô Surnames: Wordell, Taber, Hunt, Watters, Fredling, Heinecke, Wells, Ballmer

He was getting old and paunchy, and his health was failing fast, And as he sat around the Legion telling stories of his past. Of the war that he had fought in, of the deeds that he had done. In his exploits with his buddies, they were heroes, everyone. And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors, his tales became a joke, All his buddies listened, for they knew where of he spoke. But we'll hear his tales no longer, for 'ol Bob has passed away, and the world's a little poorer, for a Veteran died today. No, he wasn't mourned by many, just his children and his wife, for he lived an ordinary, very quiet sort of life. He held a job and raised a family, quietly going on his way; And the world won't note his passing, 'tho a Veteran died today. When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, While thousands note their passing, and proclaim that they were great. The papers tell of their life stories, from the time that they were young. But the passing of a Veteran goes unnoticed and unsung. Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of this land, Some jerk who breaks his promise and cons his fellow man? Or the ordinary fellow, who in time of war and strife, Goes off to serve his country and offers up his life? The politician's stipend and the style in which he lives Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives. While the ordinary Veteran who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal and perhaps a pension small. It's so easy to forget them, for it is so long ago, That our Bobs and Jims and Johnnys went to battle, but we know. It was not the politician, with his compromise and ploy, Who won for us this freedom that our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger with your enemies at hand Would you really want some cop-out with his ever waffling hand, Or would you want a Veteran, who has sworn to defend, His home, his kin, and Country, and fight until the end? He's just a common Veteran and his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us, we may need his like again. For when countries are in conflict, we find the Veteran's part Was to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start. If we cannot do him honor, while he's here to hear the praise, Then at least let's give him homage, at the ending of his days. Perhaps a simple headline in the paper that might say, Our Country is in Mourning, for a Veteran died today

I have two Land Records from Rhode Island Land Evidences - one from Lawrance Springer to Robert Gibs and another from Thomas Hicke to Lawrence Springer. If you care to see them, I can post them. Claire

Many thanks! I had visions of a plot from "The Twilight Zone" or a 19th century "Brigadoon." Should have known the answer was much more prosaic, but I'm a confirmed romantic.
