 I have recieved 2 messages tonight about the conversation in this news
group. While there has been as of late, NO messages other than ours,
still there are thoes out there, that sit there and insult and demean us
for our friendly conversation. We are a couple of friends. I have
recieved private E-Mail on this subject, (concerning the NY law allowing
women to go topless). Perhaps they sent it to me private because they
were afraid of insulting comments like what I have recieved. Perhaps if
these moronic depressants would get off thier ass and post something,
there would be something more to talk about. We are willing to share our
warmth and friendship to everyone, and out feelings and opinions. But to
these few ummm, "People", add to the base, or stop bitching...
           I am sorry for my anger.

300 years ago one branch of my family, named Shreve (or Shrieve or Sheriff)
lived in eastern Rhode Island.  According to a book I've read, there is a
Shreve family cemetery, on the Shrieve farm.  It is described as being on the
east side of Fish Road, opposite the N. Tiverton pumping station.

Anyone know if this cemetery is still there, and what kind of condition it's
in?  Anybody named Shreve reading this?

Ahhhh. This news group is music to my ears.  It just re-enforces my
feelings toward Rhode Island, and makes me glad that I moved away!

Can't you people get along, or have you been eating too many Quahogs 
out of the Bay?  

Chew some gum, grease your hair, drive your Monte Carlo around the
block with your stereo turned up, and practice your pronunciation of
Ro Disland.  Maybe it'll make you feel better.

I doubt it. I'd be pretty bitchy if I had to live in Rhode Island.
Either you were born there and love it, or come from somewhere else
and hate it.  As you can tell, I fall into the second category!

\in that dept, only one is specialized in railroad restoration,
\one in the bike path recommendations.
        Do you know were they are planning to put bike paths? Just
 curious, considering I am 0 and 4 for picking off bicycle riders
 this month (all near-misses of riders on the wrong side of the
 road <G>). Just so you don't think I am some amoral monster, I
 did ride around the Newport/Middletown area, least ways,
 until I got tired of repairing rims and tires and dodging cars
 with Mass or New Jersey/York plates. Hmmm... Actually, maybe
 instead of paths, they should put up large barriers that my
 bike and I can use for cover.?.
        Right now, my bike is hiding out in my kitchen (space is
 at a premium here!) and I would swear that I can see it cringe
 when I look at it and think of going for a ride.
        Summer Season Safety Note: Helmuts, gloves and body armor
 are not optional attire. Highly reflective clothing is not encouraged
 as it attracts attention and makes you a highly desireable and easy

I haven't heard about him since I graduated which was one or two years before him.

Did you go to SK? Or were you just one of his phreaking buddies (no offense intended)

My limited experience with SIBL is that the "People" are friendlier an
perhaps a bit less competitive than LL.  Of course this was about 4 years
ago when my brother in law was coaching.  Watching the real youngsters
play T-ball is really pretty entertaining!  My kids are still too young, I
hope that Swansea still has both programs in a few years.  

Oh, one thing I forgot.  For some reason, SIBL cant use the fields off Rt.
6 (the ones by the tennis courts) I'm not sure why.  We used to play at
Stevens Home and across from the Venus on Little Neck.

Speaking of roads, how come they never finished the highway.
I mean you come into Newport off the bridge, and then the
highway just ends? How come they never connected it to
the highway on the other side of the island?

I think what people all across the country don't understand is that the
defense industry is exactly that - an industry.  By cancelling all these
government contracts they are effectively destroying an industry.  We
here in N.E. felt it especially hard because of all the defense related
industries we have here.  When other industries fall on hard times (farmers,
garment workers, etc.) the government always steps in and helps out.  I'm 
not saying that the Sea Wolf, for instance, should be built just to supply 
jobs but the government never addressed the issue of what to do with all 
the people who work in this industry when they take the work away.

If you really find the word "fuck" so offensive, why did you
quote it in your followup?  And do you really think that
there's anyone reading this newsgroup who hasn't encountered 
the word "fuck" before?  And what does their gender or age have
