Hello List group and Knox County, I Can't begain to start to tell you what writing to you and receiving your mails, and meeting those of you that faced the rain at the Reunion/Homecoming, has meant to me, and most of you are outstanding in my minds eye to remember the rest of my life. I'm looking for others to carry on this event on into it's third year, maybe have the event in the next Co. over from Knox in the County of Hamblin County, which used to be part of Grainger Co. Three of us meet with the director of Tourist at Morristown, Friday before the reunion, and they really want us to have it there and will help anyway possible. And have inside facilities that are not to expensive, at the Holliday Inn and other ideas for the new group to look over for 2003. I know of one Special Hostess who may want to continue to help, but know I must retire, and not sure about the others besides Terri. Something very untactful has come up that I must tell you about, in order for you to know about it for future use, and to tell the person to stop, and help the hurt person to fell better about coming to the reunion again maybe, by your writing to tell her we all are sorry she was a victim of a racial slur. If I had of knew about it at the time, I'de of removed him very quickly, and am sure I'de had a lot of help if I needed it. This happened to My Cousin Diane Feigner, our numbers keeper, her Grand-Daughter, and Sister Connie, at a vendors table. They told me about it later Sunday night at my room at the Sleep Inn in tears. And since then, have told Terri, also, the following: I've found out some things after this has happen to Connie, about the Person of Robert Mc Ginnis. He hate lots of people, especially all yankees, and has made remarks, of a put down nature, to me for the last two years we had the reunion. I truly Believe this person to be a homosexual, and he has put his hands on my rear end of which I wanted to break last year in removing. And has Call me terms like Dear, Honey and etc. I knew he was stupid, and considered the source. But now he had made my two cousins cry, It's going to be his problem after all of us are thru with him I hope. I don't understand a believed to be Homosexual who must live in a glass house attacking others. I wonder if anyone has called him fag or etc? Maybe not because most people are to nice to do that, except alley trash. His name is Robert McGinnis, Mail <rmcqi8164@aol.com> phone 1-865-776-2728. Diane and sister Connie were at his Vendor table looking, and Robert said to Connie: "Oh you must be related the the Niger Paper we buried last week". This is very serious and Sad. There's Federal law against these's type of things on the books, Just waiting for someone to report. Cousin Connie is a loving, Caring person who works as a RN Nurse to help those in sickness and in Pain, and I'm sure from meeting her, she does her job well, in the loving and caring part she gives freely of herself to others. All I could do was Hold them and tell them I was so sorry for what Robert did to make then cry. I surely hope all of you can remember what Robert did to these two very nice sisters, and tell every one you see that might know him about his actions. Try to put the heat on him until he apologies on line. And Please tell him how wrong he is. You see he had no standing as a Cousin there and never paid his Vendor bill., and was a friend of Terri's. I do so hope that ex-friend now. Please do what ever you feel, to make this right, on your own also. No one came forward and i.d. the way I was signing letter. It was a little neat way and kind-of a test. I remain, Very truly yours, Carl Coffman, Ex-Host, <CousinsCom2@hotmail.com> P.S. Give up? It was the way Abe Lincoln signed his letters. Only he didn't use Carl Coffman, Ex Host in his, I do believe. <Big Smile> _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
