Jan, Somebody on the board referred to it as the Blue House because of the color (I think), but I forget the history of the house. I recall it was built by a builder, W. Otto Glassnap (Glosnop). Same builder that built the Miss Bell House around 1875. I probably have some pictures of it in my boxes if you would like one. It may take me a little time to find it. I do feel sure the name is not for a "Blue" family. I only know notice my typo in the subject line. This house "blue" house was written up in the Clarksville Times a few month ago. The man restoring it found a couple of grave markers in the upstairs rooms.

This is always great to hear about. Restoring the old unique houses is a step towards getting people moving into the town. This started happening in Hillsboro years ago. It really helped get some people to move in around the city. More and more people are buying older houses and restoring them. Fort Worth is seeing this alot also.

Drew, I have forwarded on to my daughter your message asking her if she has any suggestions other than the 1898 Dawes Roll and 1909 Guion Miller Roll. (She assisted her mother-in-law in locating information on her father who was 1/2 Cherokee.) The only other suggestion I may pass along is the National Cherokee home page at cherokee.org. I believe they have a great deal of information, which maybe of help to your friend. Good luck to her in obtaining the required information.

Driving from Texarkana back to Paris last week, I noticed each evening there was active restoration work going on at the "Blue House" we called it. It is the two story house with a the trim work on it just west of the Catholic Church on East Main about 4 block east of the square. Week before last I only notice a light on upstairs then it was daylight savings time and I could see evidence of working on the roof and Friday the front doors were even open and light on the inside. I have also notice on west Main a nice sign "The McCullough House" on the front lawn. It is good to see attention being given to the old houses in Clarksville.

Jim I have seen that same message on before today. This is #122. must be something wrong somewhere. Wanda

I talked Friday with a native of Red River County. His daughter is a Air Force pilot of a C-5 and is in the Iraq area now. He is Dick Waldrep. I forget his daughters name. She is a graduate of the Air Force Academy. Dick is about 3 or 4 years younger than me. I remember Dick's father Trump Waldrep as an insurance agent in Clarksville and on the school board when I was a teen in the 50s. I just looked up the C-5 and pasted below some of what I found. (this maybe the first time I have copied and pasted anything with success. It sure does save on the typing and typos. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx 5:07 p.m. April 12, 2003_________________________________________________________ The C-5 Galaxy: A Question of Need? The C-5 Galaxy is the largest airplane in the free world. It can haul 250,000 lb of equipment; it is 246 ft long and has a wing span of 233 ft. The enormous tail reaches as high as a six story building and when the airplane lands the pilot is still three stories off the ground. The interior cargo compartment is as big as an eight lane bowling alley and longer than the Wright brothers first flight. To many people who equate size with greatness, the C-5 is a worthy triumph of American aerospace engineering. At the time of its creation, it was lauded by both Lockheed and the USAF as the best America could create. However, from its conception to the present day, the C-5 has provided examples of many of the worst problems with the weapons procurement system in this country. Today, the C-5 is an airplane with a greatly diminished and restricted mission, unable to fulfill the role for which it was designed. Despite the best intentions of all those involved in its design and product! ion, the C-5 will never play more than a token role in the defense of this nation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background The Need for the C-5: The idea for the C-5 originated in the early 1960s; a fleet of giant cargo aircraft would allow the United States to move large quantities of troops and equipment to any place in the world in a matter of days. No longer would large numbers of U. S. troops have to be garrisoned abroad in distant lands to maintain America's military presence. With several C-5 squadrons, America could project its military power anywhere, anytime, without the expense of maintaining permanent facilities overseas.

May not have been the same smoke, but I saw a large cloud of smoke northwest of Paris Thursday about noon and was told by someone who lives out that way that there was a lot of brush burning going on in that area. Somebody with bulldozers clearing a lot of land. The smoke was all across the horizen and even made parts of Paris kind of hazy. If that's what it was, it wouldn't have been on the news. Nothing in today's Paris News about any fires.

Driving home tonight, after I left Bogata heading toward Paris on US 271, I saw a tall column of dark smoke what appeared to be in the area Cunningham. I stopped at the convenient store in Deport to ask what it was. They also were wondering. A truck driver in the store said it looked like an oil fire. It did have a similar look to the oil well fires we see on T.V. in Iraq. This was about 8 p.m. I hope to find out what it was. I guess the wind was calm because it went straight up then leveled out into what looked like a long black cloud. The smoke seemed to be only 5 to 10 miles south of Rugby/Deport. If any of you know, tune me in. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx
