Is Gae sitting there conversing with Nicholas Longworth III or something?

God, look at Gae's wonderfully-developed shoulders....so supple, and yet so strong and....
...er, I'm sorry, where was I?
Oh, well, anyway, I must say, I've been called Lou Piniella and Jack Black before, even young Orson Welles (from the "Citizen Kane" era) but I don't think I've ever been called Nicholas Longworth (although with the hair loss, that's probably more accurate) [img]wink.gif[/img]
And yes I still have Trav's Gettysburg book, yet another reason to have another get-together so I can give it back to him [img]wink.gif[/img]
Does his version have Johnie Reb winning? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You say that in jest, but yes, actually it does. (written by Newt Gingrich). It's an alternative history in which Lee prevails at Gettysburg (which, even I will concede, probably would have occurred had it not been for some key mistakes by the Grays at the most inopportune of times)and then he's off to attack the District.
It's actually part of a trilogy, and Gingrich is at least smart enough to acknowledge that, while a reversal at Gettysburg would have changed things, in the end Point Pleasant's native son would have come back home and stopped the bleeding (and then Lancaster's native son would have provided the cure [img]wink.gif[/img] )
Remember, Lancaster's native son is my great great great grandfather. [img]cool.gif[/img]

GL-
are you serious? I knew about the Napoleon thing but are you serious about WTS? By all means, please expound...
According to old family records my great, great grandfather Benjamin, from Van Wert, OH married General Sherman's daughter, so that makes General Sherman my great, great, great grandfather. In the Griffith family plot in the old Van Wert cemetery WTS's son, a Jesuit priest, is buried there along with some of his other sisters. The last time I saw my brother Bob in Ohio (in 1996) he looked just like Sherman, enough to be his son. I too have the same eyes. Psycho eyes I have been told.

Now as to Napoleon, the only bloodlines I share with him unfortanetly are thru his 2nd wife and his son. Marie Louise's grandfather x6 and her son's x7, is mine x13. But no direct relation to Napoleon himself. Ofcourse no one has researched my mom's side of the family yet....
