Surf-n-Turf Myrtle Beach

Thought you might like to see some pics of our trip to Myrtle Beach to see Mike. Along the way we stopped at Charleston, SC, Tupolo, MS, where Elvis was born, and the extensive cotton fields in MS along the Arkansas River. We also saw the USS steel mill along the Interstate 20 in Birmingham, AL. Always good to be home. Check out Flickr.

New Flickr Pics

Added are pictures of our most wonderful three years spent in Jakarta, Indonesia with ARCO in the late 70's. Hope you enjoy these beautiful people.

Also added a few more pics of the Veteran's Memorial as it is nearing completion for November 11, 2008.

The Mayflower Quarterly, Vol. 74, No. 3

This Post will show excerpts from the Mayflower Quarterly. The quarterly provides a look at the history of the Pilgrims. i.e. European connection, why they came to America (e.g. some for religeous beliefs), and early days in Plymouth. I will also include some writings of the Natives e.g. Wampanoags who were most responsible for their survival.

The Mayflower Society's (Mayflower descendants) goal is to preserve the history of the Pilgrims for future generations.

This Post along with the Comments- my notes, and yours, hopefully will be educational and entertaining.

Check occasional for my new additions.

Chili Cookoff Results

Well folks, we managed to win 1st place Showmanship as Pirates of the American Legion; however, these folks just don't know what constitutes good Chili! Anyway the cause was good 'Meals on wheels' and everyone had fun. Check out the other pics on Flickr.

Mayflower Society- Warren line

Good news. I just received the second approval of three Dewolf lines to the Mayflower. This is the Richard Warren line. The first being the Mullins-Alden line which was approved two years ago.

There is one document remaining to submit the Gov. William Bradford line for approval. It has been a lot of gratifying work since 1985; however, Doris, and Uncle Bill Pratt provided the game plan. Like Doris, I am trying to provide 'tracks' which will be useful to future generation who may be interested in the genealogy of our families.

I will send all Documents to Flickr for all.

Veteran's Memorial Plano, TX

The Veteran's Memorial Committee of the City of Plano conviened at the Memorial site last evening to witness the progress to date. It is an amazing tribute to our Veterans, military forces currently protecting our freedoms and their families.

Dedication will be on November 11, 2008, Veteran's Day. A number of dignitaries, military organizations, local law enforcement and people of Plano and surrounding areas will be present.

One of the most noteable speakers will be the Honerable Sam Johnson of the House of Representatives representing our District. 'Sam', as he likes to be called, was shot down during the Viet Nam Conflict and spent seven years as a POW. He is my personal Hero.

I have posted several pictures on Flickr, with more to come.
