Hi Ruth, My new email address is scalawag1867@aol.com or scalawag1826@cs.com It's okay you can call me "An old Scalawag" My great aunt in the 1950s, when I was a little girl, called me a little "Scalawag". She was born in 1877 and she was familiar with the word and ofterm used it. I affectionally call my gr grandpapa Joseph Ryan Waldrop 1826-1867, "Scalawag". So that is the rest of the story, he was born 1826 and married my great grandmother Sara Baxter in 1867. 1867=aol 1826=com. serv. Sandra maiden name Waldrop
