I see not much has happened differently in rec.boats since I left Fri
to head for Kansas. We just got back last night and to tired to head
for the lake today.


Thursday evening before we left I went to three local cemeteries, and
decorated 13 of my family mostly divided between ww1 and ww2 vets,
with one from the Spanish-American and one from the Civil War.


Then Friday morning we headed for Kansas. It may be the last time I
ever will go out to dress graves of my ancestors on my mom's side,
Long and tiresome, but it was a great trip, just the same.


Anyhow, I'm half way feeling back to normal again, so it's time to get
ready for the huge cookout. And before that, I might go do some work
on the 23' Marquis. decisions, decisions....


Anyway, enjoy the day .

Sounds like a lot of family history to be proud of Tim. Good of you to honor
those soldiers.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks. I have several family artifacts fro battles and conflicts from
the past. And I make sure that they're graves are decorated on each
Memorial Day. No brag on my part, but this year I also went around to
a lot of other local grave sites and layed out 64 flags.And that
didn't cover them all. Next year I'll probably set 0ut a hundred or
more.

Somebody needs to do it.

Very cool, Tim! I'll donate next year. Hit me up ahead of time.
