    3. oh, my gosh! I sure don't miss those hot temperatures!! I am totally lovin' these mornings in the 60s. They tell us it might get up into the upper 80s next week. Sure that sounds like Heaven to you, huh??? I would guess that it probably is the heat that is hurting your maters. They do sort of grow upward when they first start out, but if they get big enough, the weight of the plant continues to pull them downward. Try to stay cool!!!!!!

Daniel and Mary's children were born between 1747 and 1761 per bible records (which I do not have - but mentioned in info collected for the Spangler family reunion july 22, 1916) Several people have info posted on World Connect showing these dates but also show the correct names and dates for their children. (Their children were born between 1747 and 1761) I cannot find in my records a Daniel with a birthdate of 1760. I have never found any info in Franklin Co for a Daniel Spangler with a 1760 date. Daniel was born about 1716 from age records in Franklin Co. and died 1787. There is confusion on Mary's Date of death. Tombstone says Mary Spangler age 100yr 1820.

It's funny how some names always stick in your mind. I'll ask around to some of the old timers and see if they remember.

    3. John, we've really done nothing but sit around and wait for you to get back and report in! Welcome back and glad you had a good trip. My son and family, who live on the lake where the governor's real home is located outside Anchorage, report the temps have been in the high 70s to 80 and sunny. Next time fly up to Anchorage and take the train to Fairbanks with a stop at Denali Wilderness Area. Then in Fairbanks take an old paddle wheeler down the river a little way. That's a great tour package and you see an entirely different part of AK. Here I just want to get back east again to SWVA - I spent enough years in ole AK.

    3. Well, I am back home and online. Have 122 emails in my mail box. Had a wonderful time, but would have liked it more if the cruise had went to more than just the lower islands of Alaska. Did ge to see the govenors mansion in Juneau which by the way ifd land locked Our trour guide said the only way to get into Jueau was by boat, plane or birth canal. It is a nice place to visit but am not a great fan of their weather. It was in lower 60sd and cloudy most of the time. The first night out we got caught betwee and high and low pressure system and a lot of us in our group never made it to the first formal dinner. Hope everyone has been behaving themselves while I was gone. John Sowers Lawrence, KS -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.

Jack Spangler Ellicott City, MD ===================== Jack, I recieved the link also. I spent time going thru some of it. The picture of the Grub man was interesting. When I was teaching at Floyd there was a young man named Darian Grub, who was a student there. Darian favors this Grub quite a bit. Was this Grub from Floyd? After getting his engineering degree from VT he went to work for Rick Hendricks racing. Two years ago he was the substitute crew chief for Jimmy Johnson when Johnson won the Daytona 500. This year he is the crew chief for Tony Stewart and Stewart is -- Jack Spangler Ellicott City, MD
