Hold on there just a minute, Linda! Are you saying you have to revere King Billy, the color (or the idea) orange, or the loyalists to be part of a group that you just an hour or so was an AMERICAN cultural group? I don't think so. I don't. You want a graphic? Be patient. I think your idea of a shamrock and a thistle is clever, but we ought to add in something saying North America (because we don't want to leave out our Canadian cousins). How about a shamrock and a thistle on a wave? Ann L In a message dated 3/7/2010 1:06:41 P.M.

Hi Ann, I agree there is nothing American about King Billy, but there is nothing American about a shamrock and thistle either. And I got no graphics skills so I ain't producing nothing. The Loyalists have great graphics skills but I guess I didn't get any of those genes. (I got the Irish genes that allow me to start small riots with what I think are funny comments.) I do like this: http://www.mccordfamilyassn.com/RogersRngrs.jpg ...I'm assuming the McCords give permission? (I'll have to read 40 more messages to find out). So I'll retire King Billy, computer willing, and unless I get hostile emails form the McCords ....they're closer than the Belfast Loyalists so I'm more scared of them!!
