I think I finally got an ID on my Grandfathers Boat. Ever heard of a Waymouth?. An older fishing charter Captain down the Lake from me ID'd it.

A future professional hockey player named Bobby Sheehan, who was in my grade 12 class when he played his junior hockey here, came from there. As a matter of fact, I believe our village got it's name from the Loyalists who left Mass in the mid 1700s when the ungrateful rabble was acting up.. http://www.weymouthnovascotia.com/ My gawd. You sure do know your geography. And when it came time to fight for what's right, the pansies ran north. What's the matter...? You still sore from your navy days when someone sabotaged you by putting sand in your Vasoline? You sure have some oblique "penpals."

I think he's buried way back further in the past......to the United Empire Loyalists who remained loyal to the King. Most gave up all they had to re-settle up here. My maternal grandmothers' family came up from New York after the revolution. We probably have a legtimate claim to a tiny piece of Harlem.... |

At this point... the questionable spending to maintain the Governor General in Ottawa and the provincial Lt. Governors expenses as the Queens representatives might bother a few citizens. |

"Whoops, sorry", doesn't cut it to the dead. It's was vomit inducing to hear the former administration use the "finish the job" excuse in order to honor those who "paid the ultimate price." Finishing the job in this case would be to uphold the law so that others don't have to pay the ultimate price for lawbreaking liars. I am very thankful that I never had to rely on you to watch my back. That's not an insult. It's reality. You are better off doing whatever it is you do and having the right to think whatever you think and so am I. Eisboch |

We lived one city block from the Lt Governers House and the motorcade was always coming or going during Royal visits. You have a 'Queen' of your own down there in Connecticut............ be it a short, ponytailed version. |

It was a doomed escapade from the start. Bush 1 knew it and stayed out. I'm extremely loyal and, had I been in Iraq watching anyone's back, I'd have given the full measure of my life. I'm damned glad that I'm not in that situation and very sorry for those who are. Now I want to see justice done. Those that lied us into this catastrophe should be willing to face the full measure of what it means to be nation of laws. It was among the things that Bush promised us when he campaigned for the presidency. |

wrote in message ... I have a Family Tree tracing my Ancestors back to the 1600's. They left Virginia when the rabble started acting up. They were one of the first 20 Familys to settle the Niagara Region. Fought with Brock against the Americans in the Battle of Queenston Heights.And a direct relation of mine was the Lady who informed the Brits of the impending attack by the Americans...... Any guess on who that is? If you know Canadian History, you'll know who I'm referring to. ----------------------------------- Hillary Clinton's great grandmother? Eisboch LOL |
