you slaughtered Ann's name on both threads.
Not famous but we do have a famous European writer in the family apparently who is my mom's 2nd cousin...never met him.
DH's family is pretty famous in American history I guess... DH is a direct descendent of Paul Revere (great great great great great great grandson). Also, according to the research that we did, Abraham Lincoln is also in the family....honest Abe was DH's great grandfather's 11th cousin (hope that makes sense ).
And no, no sterling silver was passed down in the family .
Oh Mein Papa, to me he was so wonderful...
Boy, that must have been the last time any American voiced that sentiment, especially in song.

My Old Man[/SIZE] by Steve Goodman
I miss my old man tonight
And I wish he was here with me
With his corny jokes and his cheap cigars
He could look you in the eye and sell you a car.
That's not an easy thing to do,
But no one ever knew a more charming creature
On this earth than my old man.
He was a pilot in the big war...
And after they dropped the bomb
He came home and married mom
And not long after that
He was my old man.
...
I miss my old man tonight
And I can almost see his face
He was always trying to watch his weight
And his heart only made it to fifty-eight.
For the first time since he died
Late last night I cried.
I wondered when I was gonna do that
For my old man.

SO and I laugh that to have ever heard of Belli is “a West Coast bias,” so here’s what Wiki has to say about him:
Melvin Belli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not surprising: "...in order for defamation of character to occur, the alleged victim has to have character to defame in the first place."I tried to get Belli to take a defamation case for me. He didn't think it was good enough; he referred me.
Ha

-My sister has participated in horseback riding events with William Shatner (who is also into horses). Beam me up, Scotty!
I'm still waiting for Moemg to get me a date with Sharapova (we're all neighbors, right?) It's questionable whether I should be dating a woman who can break my body in half with her bare hands, though.
Bzzzt sorry
