For those of you who remember her. She was the grandmother of Karey and Karen (I can’t remember their last names), but Beth knows, because she and Karey were big buddies.
Bobby Giles and his whole family (wife and four children)were in a terrible automobile accident. They were all injured, but by far the worse was Stacey, Bobby’s wife. Her esophagus was split in half, but they repaired it somehow, by removing a vein from one place(I don’t know where), and fitting it to serve as the other half of the esophagus. But the worst injuries were the two broken bones in the back. She is obviously bedridden at this time, and is still being fed intraveneously. I think their little baby is only a year or two old.

Lainie & Beth Remembered
June 23, 2008 | Uncategorized | Comments [1]
I was sitting in a meeting with the Private Banking group from Regions Financial. They introduced me and I went through my spiel. I noticed one of the officers eyeing me during the meeting and she came up to me afterwards and asked if I went to Woodlawn. I said no but that I had 3 sisters that did. She said she graduated right between Lainie & Beth. Her name is Wendy Bowman and she remembers them fondly.

Everybody count up, and get the money in to Lainie right away for the t-shirts. $10.00 per person to make it simple, and to cover everything! Not bad for a shirt so special, so pay up for the number you will need.
Do it like right now.

T-Shirt Simplicity
June 17, 2008 | Items of Interest | Comments [8]
Here is my entry into the T-Shirt realm.
I think it says it all.
I think all the families will know who they are.
I don’t think the population around DeSoto Caverns cares who is adding to their local economy.
I think this is thought provoking and can be worn again and again while people ponder exactly what kind of chemical reaction produces this sort of an ION!!!!
Just so busy
June 14, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Everybody; is just so busy . I can totally relate. We are certainly busy in this house. Today, Carmen and I have been busy getting ready for Jordan’s baptism tomorrow, after Sacrament (which means the Baptism will take place after 2:00), and we’ve made sandwiches, and a cake, and cookies, and Jordan had to have a dessert to take to a Young Women’s function that will take place before the Baptism. Luis said it didn’t bother him that another little girl was over here playing,too, while Carmen and I were at Wal-Mart gathering in all of the necessary purchases for that, and also stuff for Father-s Day. Oh, shoot! I forgot to call Tony and tell him we would be in Church from 10;30 until heaven knows when. He said he might drop in. Dad said he sent him an E-Mail. I’m rambling on with things that pertain only in my thoughts. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL OF MY SONS AND SONS-IN-LAW!!
T-Shirts?? Talent Show??
June 13, 2008 | Uncategorized | Comments [5]
What about the T-Shirts?? I love Buddy’s offer. How about just go with that, and do it right away, and send the money to Lainie, and let’s get it done. All in favor, please say, YaY!! , and send a ten-dollar bill to Lainie. Right, Lainie? Anybody?? Do you realize we’re only six weeks away from Dad and me heading for Birmingham, and then we check in on the next day at the Chalet, or preferably the Log Cabin if I can get Luis to switch and get Lainie’s reserved cabin. Time is ticking. It goes so fast!!

I had to call Salt Lake
June 13, 2008 | Ancestry | No Comments
I made a bad mistake in trying to seal two of my ancestors. A great-great aunt from the Chapman side, Desty Lavinia Chapman, and her husband John Zollicoffer Anderson. I hit the “Print Now” key, and two things went wrong. The printer was out of paper, and I didn’t give it time to print, before I hit the “Yes” key (that It had been printed correctly) The computer picked it up to mean it had really been printed, and put “In Progress” by the names, meaning that the work was in progress, and I couldn’t do anymore about it, and neither could anybody else. I went “nut” trying to figure it out, and finally had to call for help. Two angels in Salt Lake walked me carefully through the steps, and got me out of the jam. I burst into tears, and could barely say “thank you”. I was so relieved and happy. This work is so important. And I had just read in a book that I’m reading , “Temple Manifestations” about a temple worker whose father, who was not a member of the church, appeared to him in the Manti Temple, and told his son that he and his mother had to live separate and apart, and only he could do the ordinance work to seal them, so that they could be together, and would he please find out what he had to do, and get it done. He promised his father he would surely do it, and he did. That really pushed me to desperate means today to do something about this couple. I was purely stumped. We are not to think for one moment that this work isn’t important, because the spirits are watching us continually, and hoping that we will remember them.

Another Cousin
June 9, 2008 | Ancestry | No Comments
I forgot to mention Gary McLure. He’s a brother to Larry Mclure. He would be your first cousin once removed. Larry tried his best to keep from bragging, but couldn’t hold it in. I told him to please go ahead and brag. He said he was so very proud of his brother. Gary is President of five banks in Warner Robbins, Georgia, and is apparently quite wealthy. Larry said he regretted so much that Frank didn’t live to see how successful his children were (except Larry, who is the oldest letter carrier in Warner Robbins, Georgia). But I happen to think Letter Carriers are very successful. Anyway. Obviously, his brother Franklin is doing well in the construction business, and sister Kim married well. His mother became ill with Altzheimers before her children became so wealthy. And Frank died in 1987, long before.
I’m still grieving over Cherry’s death, and I haven’t seen her since she was a teenager, but she and Ellen and Howard were little tots hanging around all of my teenage years. They lived ten years in the home that I love so much where my family lived for three years. It’s difficult to believe that Buck’s children could be so successful, when he drank himself to death. They just ignored him…..but loved him very much. When I talked to Ellen the other night, she spoke of him with nothing but love in her tone. I loved him, too. He was in my life forever. The McLures all died young, every single one of them. Frank was the oldest…..at 66.
Mother…44 Frances….47 Jeanette….47 Buck…..50 Nell…….65 Frank…….66…….Ruby…disappeared…..Lou Ellen…..a child Morgan…..10
I have a question
June 5, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
if you go to google and type in “free movies”, a list will come up and a search engine and you can type in “Zeitgeist” and watch the documentary. Well, I watched it and I don’t believe it, what I want to know is does anyone think there is even a shred of truth to any of this. I figure Bill, and Buddy since ya’ll are so smart maybe you can enlighten me.
Talking to cousins
June 4, 2008 | Ancestry | No Comments
I have talked to Larry McLure, first cousin who lives in Bonaire, Georgia, son of Frank McLure. His mother, Ann, just died. I just talked to Ellen McLure tonight, daughter of Buck. Her mother, Ruth, died in 2004, and I have already done the baptism and initiatory for her, and her sister, Cherry died last year of Cancer. Ellen is so sad, because the double tragedy has almost been more than she can bear. Their brother, Howard, is CEO of something huge, and he’s worth about 11 million. He’s very humble and modest, but his worth is public consumption, found somewhere in the Forbes Magazine. I knew he had some money, when he lived in B’ham, because he lived in Mountain Brook, but I never dreamed it was so huge. Ruth didn’t tell me.
Howard was born in the little house on Cherry Avenue, where my parents lived for three years, and where my brother died.
