Orpha D. Byler married 28 Feb 1833 James P. Smith

James P. Smith did service in the Cherokee War of 1838 and was a member
of
Capt. George W. Hudlow's
company of Tennessee Volunteers commanded by Col. Henderson Yocum. He
werved
from may 13 to Aug 13 1838.
About 1844 James P. Smith and Orpha Byler moved to Rutherford Co.
Tennessee
where James died on June 1 1849. Following his death Orpha Byler Smith
joined
her brothers and sister in Izard Co. Arkansas.
Orpha received land from government of 160 acres in Arkansas Izard Co.

"Neal" would be the first name, not the last name. So the last name would be
COOK. Ior so and are buried with many unidentified Rutledges
in the same cemeteries. One such Rutledge was the brother of my ggrandmother
Chelnesse Matrina Rutledge Owen who came from Tyrone, MO with her husband
Henry Mentlo Owen and young family. They located near Rogers in Benton
County.

On second look I found Rutledges very early in Arkansas,
around Marble in Madison County and other small towns. These were up to
fifty years earlier than the arrival of our Rutledges......before the Civil
War for sure.

On third look I found several references to early
Rutledges moving north to Illinois. So this group may be mixed with known
Rutledges (by our group) in Illinois. A period when many families left
Arkansas and went north centered around families sympathetic with the Union
cause just leaving Arkansas and going north where it was safer to


live.
Arkansas seems strongly supportive of the southern cause. This divided
families against each, just one huge downside to that war.

So I am adding a link here to cemeteries in Arkansas
where Rutledges are buried:

Would someone know if Butler Ford and Butler Creek
are the same cemetery?
Thank you

Sorry this response is a bit belated...

No, they are not the same cemetery. Butler Ford is a
family cemetery located in the extreme SE corner of
Benton County on Butler Ford Rd, which leads to a cul
de sac just across the lake from War Eagle Marina on
Beaver Lake.

Mike;My Rutledges ended up in Independence County,Arkansas. When did the Wilson and and John youmention end up there? William D Rutledge and hisfamily ended up at White River, IndependenceCounty, Arkansas. His sons ended up at BigBottom, Sulphur River, and White River, all inIndependence Co.

William D's father was John who married CatherineSteelman. William D's grandfather was WilliamRutledge who married Mary "Jane" Creson.

William who married Jane had a great grandsonnamed Wilson, btw. And Wilson supposedly had abrother, John.

Hello Richard The James we were referring


just looked every
place I know to look for documentation. Just hoping for a hint or
direction in which to look.

One of the other sons I believe is Wilson Rutledge dob ca.
1803 dod 21 Feb 1863 POW Camp Douglas IL. I haven't located any of
these families in 1820 census or other records. Both Wilson and John Rutledge
moved to Independence County AR. I haven't found any connection between
this group and the Hawkins county TN Wilson Rutledge.

I have seen several messages about the Hawkins county
Rutledge families which mention a Wilson Rutledge. My James A Rutledge
dob 1802 says he was born in NC, but Hawkins County TN was claimed by VA and NC
when it was settled. I have wondered where some of the early
people would say they were born? TN, NC, or VA.The Hawkins county Rutledge
& Armstrong lines I believe were mainly from VA.

I have some of the accounts of Stephen W. Rutledge and his
civil war journal which mentions my Wilson Rutledge or at least the one I
claim. The article was from Pearl Rutledge and list the Wilson Rutledge from
Monroe County TN in 1830. I have a list of all of this Wilson
Rutledge's children and many of his descendants.

Pearl also mentions the Wilson Rutledge age 22 on the
Hawkins County census records for 1850. Stephen W Rutledge lived in Hawkins in
1844-1847, but was in Bledsoe County TN living with his father in 1850. and in
Giles County TN in 1860.

I have a relative in Washington Co AR who was born about 1810
named BassimaBallard. She was daughter of Thomas Ballard and Martha L


of my g grandmother, Rebecca Rutledge,
who also diedin Stoddard County. The info on Wilson is on the Stoddard

I'm not sure of any of the relations to Mr. Varnell.
He was listed as asource for some records that were used in part of an article on
the Rutledgeand Parsons family. I spoke to a, Vernon Varnell from
Rogers AR onWednesday. He lives only about 5 miles from Boaz AL where I

Varnell dob 6 April, 1904, dod May 1970. He was living in
Batesville, Independence County, AR at the time of death. If possible, I
would like to get information about the Varnell family connection to the

Rutledge Family Reunion Is Held On Hallowed Grounds
Of Mt. Zion

On Sunday, July 20, the third annual Rutledge reunion was
held on thesacred grounds of Old Mt. Zion, south of the river, the church
which standsout so clearly and with


awe in the minds of the Rutledge
descendants. The morning program was opened by Walter Rutledge Jr.
President. FredRutledge of Hot Springs led the opening prayer. Mrs. Feba Moore of Pine Bluff and Mrs. Ida Varnell of
Batesville, our twodarling aunts, age 84 and 80 respectively, were crowned
queens of the day,by Winnie Moore of Pine Bluff, daughter of Mrs. Feba Moore, and
Adele Nashof Batesville, great nice of the two queens. Each aunt was
presented acorsage as well as one to Mrs. Belle Varnell, our third lovely
Little oldLady. During the crowning, Revive Us Again was
led by Cleve Sparkman. Dinner was served and Harry Rutledge of Gilmer, Texas,
asked the blessing.Food, enough for Coxs army, was spread on the long table
placed under theshade of the beautiful trees on the lawn. After dinner a short periodof visiting together was
enjoyed, after whichwe were called under the arbor by a piano prelude I Am
Saved by BerthaRutledge. After a brief sing-song a business meeting was
called. Gene Rutledge waselected chairman and Patsy Sue Rutledge, Secretary-Treasurer, of
next yearsreunion to be held at the same place the last Sunday in July. A newspaper clipping of the 55th wedding anniversary of our
grandparents,G. C. and Lovisa Rutledge of Jamestown, was read by Oma Wingo of

A Pate descendant said she was ' referred to as
"GrandmaNations Rutledge" by older members of the family which would
indicate thatshe was not their grandmother by blood.ISSUE: 2, possibly 3, sons and 3 daughters.Again, no marriage record has been found. Early Monroe Co. TN and
CherokeeCo. AL are "burned" counties.

WILSON RUTLEDGE owned 320 acres in Independence Co. AR in 1859-
BY 1860census he was in Saline Co. AR. After the start of the CivilWar he joined. a CSA unit in Saline Co. where he is shown on the
roster ofCo. B, Arkansas 1st (Crawford's) Cavalry as Wilson Rutledge, Sgt.
Theoriginal CSA record is filed as "W.A. Rudley." He was
taken prisoner on 11Jan. 1863 at Arkansas Post, AR and imprisoned atCamp Douglas, IL where he died of typhoid fever on 21 Feb. 1863-
There werenomuster roll cards dated prior to his capture so the date of
enlistment isunknown. (Buried as W.A. Rudley in Oak Woods Cemt. Chicago
IL, Confederatemonument)If JANE RUTLEDGE, wife #2, followed an old custom, then her first
daughter,Martha, may have been named for the deceased wife. HUGH RUTLEDGE
named adaughter MARTHA LUCINDA. Could this have been for his mother and
sister?

There are many JOHN RUTLEDGE descendants in Independence Co. AR
and thechronicler of this line shows my (Lucinda) Jane Rutledge as his
daughtereven though she is not listed in the family Bible. My research
has provedthis to be incorrect. John Rutledge possibly was her uncle. Jane
may havemade her home with this family between the 1850 census and, her
marriage toTom Pate in 1859-

WILSON RUTLEDGE'S SON, JAMES CALVIN, known as CALVIN, was born ca
1840; theyear Wilson married his second


wife. The fact that Calvin was
enumeratedwith Tom and Jane R. Pate in the 1860 Indep Co. AR census makes
me wonderwhether he was a son by the first wife. However, in 1870 he is
living withhis family adjacent to Ja(i)ne Rutledge and her children in
Jefferson Co.AR. Calvin Rutledge also served in the CSA but in a
different outfit thanWilson.

As a side note, Columbus (Lum) Knox Polk Rutledge, son of the
above JohnRutledge and Rebecca Parsons, married Mollie Pate, sister to my
GrandfatherTom Pate. One of John's sons, G.C. (Gilbert Calloway Lorenzo
HustonRutledge) bears a striking resemblance to a photo of Hugh
Rutledge. Oh,that other mothers were as careful in recording their children's
full namesas was Rebecca!

? This is the John Rutledge of Independence CO. AR. If
Lucinda JaneRutledge had been his daughter she should have been includedat
about age 11on this census.? On the 1840 census above, the elder James Rutledge is
undoubtedly theJames of the 1830 Monroe CO. TN census which leads to speculation

A Record of John Rutledge and his descendents

by Houston Odell Rutledge & Sybil King Rutledge

John Rutledge, b 15 Sep 1810 in NC; d 30 Jul 1880 in Jamestown,
Ark, buried in the old Jamestown cemetery near his wife, the rock
marker is now missing from his grave. A sketch of this family now
in possession of a Mr. R. E . Moore of Pine Bluff, Ark, says he
was born at Shiloh Ford of the


These records were donated by Mr J Frank
Berry of Lewis, Iowa, who does belong to the family of the well
known Ann Rutledge that supposedly was engaged to Abraham
Lincoln.

John Rutledge married 20 Jan 1835, Miss Rebecca Parsons, born 11
May 1814-1815 Tenn; died 5 Aug 1860 Jamestown, AR., buried in the
old Jamestown Cemetery, has a stone headstone on her grave. She
was the daughter of Mr Thomas Parsons and Mrs Susan (Madice)
Parsons. The Bible gives the year of her birth as 1814 and her
headstone has 1815.

We find John & Rebecca living in the section of Alabama that
became Cherokee Co in 1836, they were there in 1835 before it was
named. The 1850 Census shows John & Rebecca and five of their
children, one child had died and was not listed. His name was
spelledRulage instead of our way of spelling Rutledge on that
census record. Mr Legrand Dean was also listed as a helper on
John's farm.

The courthouse in Cherokee Co, Alabama, burned in 1882, however,
I did obtain the Census Record from Mrs. Robert Neville Mann in
Cedar Bluff, Alabama, a genealogist.

John & Rebecca owned a large farm and the children helped
with the farm work. When the oldest son was 17 years old, this
whole family left Cherokee Co and came to Arkansas, settling
around Alderbrook which was later names Jamestown, Ar. Some of
the descendents still recall the stories their parents passed
down to them about John owning slaves on his farm or plantation
in Alabama and that he would sell his 14 & 15 year old slave
boys. They left Alabama and arrived in Arkansas in 1852.

A John


cemetery is marked. Not
much is known of John's 28 years in Independence County.
Apparently he was a farmer and a stock raiser in the Jamestown
area. John and Rebecca Rutledge had ten children. Eight of them
were born in Cherokee County, Alabama, and two in Independence
Coi-inty, Arkansas. Their oldest son was Gilbert Calloway Loranzo
Huston Rutledge, born in Alabama October 28, 1335, and died in
Jamestown April 18, 1918. On June 29, 1854, he married Miss
Lovisa James, daughter of Daniel James, another prominent settler
of Jamestown. Calloway served in the Confederate Army as 2nd
sergeant in Captain J. W. Cullin's company of the 2nd Arkansas
Cavalry and as a sergeant of Company C, 3rd Arkansas Cavalry.
Calloway Rutledge's service in the Masonic Lodge was notable as
he served as master of Neil Lodge at Jamestown 28 years, which
althoughimpossible to verify may be a record in Arkansas. (See
Chronicle Vol. 111, NO. 4, page 40, and Vol. V, No. 4, page 13)
The other children of John and Rebecca were: Sarah Jane Rutledge,
born November 22, 1837, and died September 2, 1839. She is buried
in an unmarked grave in Cherokee County, Alabama. Francis Marion
Rutledge, born January 30, 1840. He served in the Confederate
Army in Captain Thomas J. Morgan's Company D, 8th Arkansas
Infantry, being mustered into service at Oil Trough in July of
1861. He married Miss Sarah P. Moses January 11, 1872. Leetha
Emiley Rutledge, born September 15, 1842. She became the wife of
John T. Carter December 27, 1859, and died December 31, 1878. Mr.
Carter was listed in Dr. Dickson's ledger. We do not have
information concerning children of this family. Columbus

This is a letter explaining some of the thoughts about Wilson's
family. My interest in Wilson is that I believe Wilson to a
brother of my ggg-grandfather James A. (I HAVE NO PROOF OF THE
RELATIONSHIP) Their families lived at the same place at the same
time, BUT the James who is supposed to be the father of Wilson
and John Rutledge lived with my James in Cherokee Co. AL. Mike
Rutledge, Boaz AL WILSON (W.A.) RUTLEDGE Born ca 1803) in NC Died
21 Feb. 1863 of typhoid fever while A POW-CSA, Camp Douglas, IL.
MARRIED TWICE: (1) md ca 1829 possibly in Monroe Co. TN. She has
not been identified; no marriage record found. ISSUE: 3, possibly
4, sons, and 1 daughter. 2) md1840 (per 1850 census taker), to a
woman named Jane who possibly was Jane Nations. A Pate descendant
said she was ' referred to as "Grandma Nations
Rutledge" by older members of the family which would
indicate that she was not their grandmother by blood. ISSUE: 2,
possibly 3, sons and 3 daughters. Again, no marriage record has
been found. Early Monroe Co. TN and Cherokee Co. AL are
"burned" counties. WILSON RUTLEDGE owned 320 acres in
Independence Co. AR in 1859- BY 1860 census he was in Saline Co.
AR. After the start of the Civil War he joined. a CSA unit in
Saline Co. where he is shown on the roster of Co. B, Arkansas 1st

of enlistment is unknown. (Buried as W.A. Rudley in Oak Woods
Cemt. Chicago IL, Confederate monument) If JANE RUTLEDGE, wife
#2, followed an old custom, then her first daughter, Martha, may
have been named for the deceased wife. HUGH RUTLEDGE named a
daughter MARTHA LUCINDA. Could this have been for his mother and
sister? There are many JOHN RUTLEDGE descendants in Independence
Co. AR and the chronicler of this line shows my (Lucinda) Jane

This is page 4 of the John Rutledge information Soldier in
Captain Cullin's company. About 1865 he married Mollie Pate,
member of another prominent James- town family. One of his
daughters, Mrs. Prisilla Jane Haney, now lives in a rest home in
Enid, Oklahoma. Amanda L. Rutledge, born February 24, 1846, and
died in May of 1873. I have been told that she married a John
Clayton. However, her marriage is not listed in the family Bible
and we have no other information concerning her or her children.
Jane Rutledge, bornabout 1848. She married Tom H. Pate a brother
of Mollie Pate who married Lum Rutledge a brother of Jane. Tom
Pate also served in Captain's Company during the Civil War with
his brothers-in-law, Calloway and Lum. A curious fact is that
Jane is not listed with other members of the family in the Bible,
but a letter preserved in the Bible she wrote in 1876 to her
(brother) Lum has proved the relationship. William H. Rutledge,
born March 24, 1850. He married Miss Malinda Emboden whom was
born in Texas in 1872. They were living in the Indian Territory,
now Oklahoma, when they became engaged, and her parents sent her
to Arkansas for the ceremony so she would be married in the
United States. Their daughter, Mrs. Essie E. Duncan, still lives
in Conway, Arkansas. John Gard Rutledge, born


August 29, 1853, in
Independence County. In 1872 he married Miss Martha Hargrave and
lived near Ft. Smith, Arkansas. We do not have the names of their
children. Their last child was Daniel C. Rutledge who was born in
Independence County November 5, 1856. He died at the age of seven
and was buried in the cemetery at Jamestown. The stone, which
once marked his grave, is now missing. Many descendants of John
and Rebecca live in Independence County today and once each
summer they gather with those from out of state who can return
for a family reunion. (Added at the bottom of the Article) Jane
(Lucinda or Jane) was the Daughter of Wilson Rutledge. Wilson was
possibly a brother of John Rutledge. Among other relatives, Jane
had brothers Hugh, Thomas Huston and Andy (James Andrew or Andrew
James) whomigrated to Boise Idaho about 1860. (Jimmie Jean Pate

CBS sprung into upfront action today, picking up four new dramas, Limitless, Rush Hour, Code Black and the Criminal Minds spinoff — now officially titled Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders — and two comedies, the single-camera Life In Pieces, starring James Brolin and Colin Hanks, and Angel From Hell, headlined by Jane Lynch and Maggie Lawson.

There was no Beverly Hills Cop redo with Rush Hour this year as some dreaded early on, referring to the CBS’ high-profile 2013 pilot based on the hit Eddie Murphy feature cop comedy franchise with an up-and-coming actor in the lead, which shockingly got a pass. Despite early bumps, including a very long casting process for the two young leads, and mixed early feedback, the Rush Hour pilot, written by Bill Lawrence & BlakeMcCormick and directed by Jon Turteltaub, steadily gained momentum to solidify its chances. The Rush Hour pickup means that both of Warner Bros. TV’s big titles at CBS went to series, with Supergirl getting an early nod on Wednesday. That brings the CBS new drama series orders to 5.

For a second year in a row, an action pilot produced by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci sailed through testings and screenings to land on the CBS schedule. Last year, it was Scorpion, this time it was Limitless, based on the 2011 feature, whose star Bradley Cooper is executive producing the series.

Following the success of Scorpion, CBS clearly is moving in the direction of more popcorn, younger-skewing one-hours with the


additions of Limitless, Rush Hour and Supergirl –– all three pre-bought titles, which would help in marketing.

A major recasting of the lead that involved last-minute rewriting of characters did not get in the way of medical drama Code Black, which replaced original lead Maggie Grace with co-star Marcia Gay Harden. Facing another medical drama pilot, LFE, Code Black, written by Michael Seitzman, snagged the series order. It is refreshing to see that CBS is not afraid to bet on older series leads in a youth-obsessed culture. Last May, CBS picked up new drama series NCIS: New Orleans toplined by Scott Bakula. This year the network has Code Black and the new Criminal Minds spinoff, which marks the return of CSI: NY star Gary Sinise.

This is the second seriesorder in that many days for Limitless exec producer Marc Webb, who directed the pilot from a script by Craig Sweeney. He also received a surprise order at the CW for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a pilot he originally did for Showtime. Ditto for Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders exec producer Mark Gordon, who also is behind new ABC drama Quantico.

CBS’ bet on two single-camera comedies, Tad Quill’s Angel From Hell and Justin Adler’s Life In Pieces, a late January spec buy, is interesting. I hear the network brass also liked multi-camera sitcom The Half Of It, said to be fairly traditional, but couldn’t find a place for it on the schedule. There may be some play for it down the road.

Here are descriptions of CBS’ newly picked up series.

I love the shape of this bird-lamp. Where the wings should be, is a great curved space. The bird turns its head to see. The whole object is a dancer: a “hold” of ballroom grace. The lamp stands on a plinth of granite rocks turning gold. It illustrates the existential interface of psyche, spirit, alchemy with the flat surfaces of our world-view – the rocks bulge out from under the plane of the plinth.

..

Here are a pair of Lions – scarlet and black – actually indigo blue – in an alchemical sphere. The red one stands for Mars: the indigo one for Saturn.

Between them is a crown. There is an arrow to each side, a bow along the base, andred inscribed tablets above and below. Manly P.Hall translated the (illegible) Greek inscription under the lions, to English, and I had the happy idea to write it out in English: “Each must sprinkle himself with his own wine from the Mountain of Chios. He must drink to God before the wood. He must give himself in exchange for that for which he yearns.”

MPH comments: “… Wood was the symbol of Dionysius, and it was in honour of this god of the wood and of the vine that the ritual of the Communion was first established. To drink of one’s own blood or to sprinkle oneself with his own wine is to be immersed in or tinctured by the inner soul power. Fermentation was the presence of Bacchus or


from Aries the first angle of the world. The 6th sign Virgo, is the ending and completion of the ages – the symbol of service and renunciation by which the lions may be overcome. He who gives up life for wisdom, shall receive a fuller life…”

While working on the drawing – it took several hours – I felt its vibrant mystery. This happens when the Trinosofia illustrations are tangibly recreated. I don’t know yet their full meaning, but they are energy Keys. The connection is discreet and powerful: the colours seem to glow. I use watercolour pencils and a brush.

..

In the evening, while watching TV, I copied this strange illustration – (at the end of Chapter Three) of a dark cave with the sea and the sun comingsubdued in all its parts and become a perfect instrument of the enlightened will. The bodily atoms and molecules must be vibrated anew …

“The second mystery in the order of the Memphis rite is that of water, and at the beginning of this section the candidate finds himself standing on the shore of a vast underground lake. This is the sea of ether which separates the two worlds. It is the humidic body of the earth, the sphere of generation. He who would reach the Invisible world must cross this sea, that is, become master of the generative powers of nature (and of his thought). Led by the blazing star, the candidate throws himself into the midst of the waves. With his lamp upon the crown of his


head (the spirit fire lifted into the pineal gland), he struggles for mastery over the currents of the etheric world.

“His strength fails, and he cries out to the Universal Cause for help. A boat appears, in it seated the king of the earth with a golden crown on his forehead. But the boat is pointed back toward the shore from which the neophyte came. The crowned man offers the kingdoms of the earth, but the disciple of wisdom … cannot be thus easily tempted. Strengthened by the power of right decision and aided by the invisible genii, the candidate fights his way to the distant shore. Before him rises the silvery wall of the moon, the lady of the sea whose dominion he has passed.

“The fire initiation awaitsthat ‘a wise soul is a dry one’ …

‘… The moon rules physical generation or the perpetuation of corruptible forms, but the sun has dominion over spiritual generation, the creation of incorruptible bodies. Man is the progeny of fire (sun), water (moon) and air (the bird of Thoth). The temptation by the king with the golden crown, suggests one of the most common difficulties of the alchemical tradition. Those who attempted the art in most cases failed in their quest for wisdom, because they became fascinated with dreams of wealth. Material gold tempts the alchemist away from his spiritual quest for enlightenment and immortality.”

Zain and Yod – the signs of these Tarot Keys (Gemini and Virgo), are ruled by alchemical Mercury, in the air and in the ground.

POST SCRIPT – I came across what I wrote in July 2003 when I first studied the Trinosofia:

In Section Three of the Trinosofia (I read it last night with little understanding but a sense of rest) the pilgrim comes to a white marble platform, and the star falls into the surging sea, and the pilgrim goes in after the star. In theare also apparently sacred letters on the flank of the lion.

To go into the surging sea in this path through the white pure door of the Adept, is Courage into the vibration, into noise-interference to which I am hypersensitive and judgemental.

The features and advantages of the present invention reside in a pole member structure having a plurality of segments. Each segment has a pivoting connection with each adjacent segment. Each segment also has a connector for selectively connecting the pole segment with one of its adjacent pole segments so that adjacent pole segments are retained in a fixed angular position relative to their pivoting connection when the pole member structure is tensioned.
The individual pole segments may be rigid or resilient, and the connector may be a ring, loop, or other suitable connector. The ends of the adjacent segments may overlap and the longitudinal axes of the adjacent segments may be offset to facilitate folding the pole member structure into a compact bundle for storage.

Speaking at a Republican Party field office in Waukesha on Monday, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee talked up the closeness of the governor's race in Wisconsin and the need to get Scott Walker supporters to the polls.

Sharon Day, the co-chair, told the audience, "It's not going to be an easy election, it's a close election. Like I said, much closer than I can even understand why.

"I don't want to say anything about your Wisconsin voters but, some of them might not be as sharp as a knife."

Day appeared at the rally with Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.

"Though we have one of the finest closing arguments in the United States of America, this election is still locked up in a dead heat," Kleefisch told campaign volunteers.


In exclusive interview, Alabama whistleblower says Rove trying to smear her Larisa Alexandrovna

Published: Monday February 25, 2008

Print This Email This Rove's attorney says CBS should apologize for story After a CBS affiliate blacked out 60 Minutes in Alabama, Dana Jill Simpson, the Republican attorney from Alabama and a whistleblower in the Don Siegelman case, told RAW STORY Monday that the coordinated smear attack on her credibility by the state's GOP and the American Spectator publication are being pushed by Karl Rove  the former senior aide to President Bush  in retaliation for her revelations of his role in the investigation and conviction of Don Siegelman. Siegelman was convicted of corruption charges and sentenced to seven years in prison in 2006. A 60 Minutes piece Sunday, as wellas several by RAW STORY and Harper's Magazine, have raised questions about the circumstances of his conviction. Over the weekend, a series of articles appeared in the Montgomery Independent and the American Spectator attacking both Simpson and Harpers reporter Scott Horton. Karl Rove, through his attorney, declared that Simpsons allegations are false and the story foolish. 60 Minutes owes Mr. Rove an apology for circulating this false and foolish story," Rove attorney's Robert Luskin said. Simpson, however, points to the fact she testified to Congress under oath. Though called to testify, Rove did not show up. Mr. Rove was subpoenaed to testify in front a Congressional committee, said Simpson this morning during a telephone interview. He would not testify. He did not even appear in front of Congress,


(and sometime Siegelman adversary) who represented a co-defendant and close ally of Siegelman's in the trial that convicted Siegelman of federal bribery and obstruction charges said that the previous incarnations of the woman's oft-changing allegations "must have been created by a drunk fiction writer."

Hillyer goes on to claim that this is the first time Ms. Simpson has alleged that Karl Rove had directly asked her to be involved in finding dirt on Governor Siegelman. This allegation, however, is not true. This reporter was aware months ago of this allegation as was Scott Horton of Harpers who provided his own account of what Simpson told him, also months ago. In addition, Hillyer cites Toby Roth as a Republican activist who claims to have never heard of Simpson before. Forone thing, Simpson consistently has made claims of being a longtime, and fairly high-level, Republican activist in Alabama. But my Republican sources in Alabama say they either don't even know her or barely remember her having done some rather low-level volunteer work. On Friday, longtime activist Toby Roth said of the 2002 campaign (around which most of her allegations revolve): "I was the campaign director [for now-Gov. Bob Riley, who challenged Siegelman]. I did not know her. Never met the lady." His only contact with her, he said, came four years later when she faxed him letters demanding that one of her clients be awarded a state contract to clean up a tire dump. The contract went to somebody else, and Roth says her bizarre allegations began surfacing


mass mailings Yet despite these conflicts of interest, the Alabama GOP - via state representative Mike Hubbard -- issued a series of emails citing the American Spectator article in order to criticize Simpson. Simpson came forward last year to testify in front of House Judiciary Committee about what she alleges was Karl Roves involvement in the Don Siegelman prosecution. As reported by Raw Story in the first part of an ongoing investigation into the Don Siegelman case, the Permanent Republican Majority, Simpson testified that she was on a conference call that discussed how Governor Siegelman would be hanged. It would take a Riley campaign attorney -- long-time Alabama Republican Dana Jill Simpson -- to finally blow the whistle on the Republican governor. In a 2007 affidavit and sworntestimony, Simpson stated unequivocally that dirty tricks had sealed her bosss victory in the 2002 election, and she named Karl Rove and the US Department of Justice as conspirators in the case.

Simpson had worked for the Riley campaign in 2002 as an opposition researcher, digging up dirt on then-Governor Siegelman. According to Simpson's May 2007 affidavit, Siegelman was pressured to concede the 2002 election because the Riley camp threatened to make public a set of photographs of one of Siegelman's supporters planting Riley campaign signs at a Ku Klux Klan rally. Simpson also stated that Canary had indicated that Karl -- by which she had no doubt he meant Karl Rove -- had taken a personal interest in the matter.

...

In this additional testimony, Simpson described a conference call


among Bill Canary, Governor Riley's son Rob and other Riley campaign aides, which she said took place on November 18, 2002 -- the same day Don Siegelman conceded the election. Simpson alleged that Canary had said that Rove had spoken with the Department of Justice about pursuing Siegelman and had also advised Riley's staff not to worry about Don Siegelman because his girls would take care of the governor.

The girls allegedly referenced by Bill Canary were his wife, Leura Canary -- who was appointed by George W. Bush in 2001 as the US Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama -- and Alice Martin, another 2001 Bush appointee as the US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. Simpson added that she was told by Rob Riley thatJudge Mark Fuller was deliberately chosen when the Siegelman case was prosecuted in 2005, and that Fuller would hang Siegelman. Just prior to Simpsons Congressional testimony, her house was burned down and she was once driven off the road in Alabama. I dont feel safe, Simpson added this morning. Correction: Due to an editing error, Hillyer was incorrectly identified as a lobbyist in the first edition of this article. He says he is not affiliated with the National Center for Public Policy Research, which wrote about a conference that he moderated in 2006. The Center is not defunct.

The New Indian Express

Friday, December 28, 2012

Malayali engineer Arun George Thomas, evacuated from an India-flagged ship off Goa coast after father obtained a court order.

The evacuation was based on a High Court directive following a Habeas Corpus petition filed by Arun’s father who alleged that Arun was being illegally detained in the ship, reports The New Indian Express.

Arun told Thrikkakara police that after he joined the ship in November from Sharjah, he came to know that it was not sea worthy and hence wanted to quit.

But the authorities aboard threatened him and he was forced to continue on the ship, though the company later promised to relieve him in UAE, he was not released and the ship set sail for Singapore on Dec 6.

The ship


then broke down 8 nautical miles off the Goa coast. While he went to investigate the matter, he fell down and injured himself. But the authorities failed to provide any first aid, he submitted. Arun was then evacuated in a speed boat on December 25. He was taken to the Goa Medical College Hospital where he received treatment for bruises.Horford (42) acknowledges the crowd after a video following the first quarter of the Celtics game against the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.

Arsenal survived relegation by one point

There’s not just one League in England anymore, there are two leagues. Symbiotic leagues which feed off each other, enrich each other, and ultimately enrich the billionaires and millionaires who own, operate, and play in those leagues.

In The League you have 20 teams who play each other home and away, are awarded points for wins and draws, and the club with the most points at the end of the season wins a trophy. That League trophy is one of the most difficult things to get your hands on. In the 20 years that the League has existed just 5 teams have won: Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers, and Manchester City.

In addition to winners, thereare losers: and while the winners get a trophy, the losers get kicked out of the League.

There’s also prize money awarded to each team in this League. Each place that a team finishes up the table in the League earns £755,062 cumulative. The winners receive £15m and the losers just £755,000. Already the seeds of inequality are planted. Not only do the losers get kicked out of the League but they receive a pittance in prize money.

This League has, however, a soft spot. There are lucrative domestic and foreign television contracts which are divided equally among all 20 teams to the tune of £32.5m.² In addition, all 20 teams are guaranteed that 10 of their games will be played live on television and thus earn them an additional


£5.8m.

Among all of their various prize monies, television contracts, and other awards, the bare minimum that a League team will earn is £39m and the maximum which a team could earn is around £61m.

And if a team is booted out of that League, there’s a “parachute payment” of £15m which is given to teams to help them fight their way back into the League. That parachute payment is reduced the year after their first year of relegation and reduced further the year after that but is still a massive payment considering the fact that the league below The League only pays out an average of £1m in prize monies.

For many teams just being in this League is considered a huge achievement. There are two other competitions, cup competitions,that money goes to the four teams from The League. And the League winner, the best team in the best league in all the world? The Champions League pays them 8% of the Market Pool money, or nearly £24m. Just for showing up.

All totaled, if a team were to win all 13 of their games in the Champions League and if they were the champions from The League the payout would be £51,477,360.¹ Give or take a few pennies here and there.

Only the top three teams from The League are guaranteed admission to the Champions League. The fourth placed team has to survive a promotion battle between another similarly placed team from a different league in Europe. This is almost exactly the same system that teams from the


league below the League use to get into The League.

For a club like Arsenal, who don’t have the backing of a man who is willing to spend £1bn to win the League, achieving third place and thus securing Champions League football is crucial, financially, to ensuring that Arsenal are even remotely competitive in the League. People wonder why Arsene Wenger prioritizes the Champions League over the FA Cup and even more so over the League Cup but it’s really quite simple.

As I illustrated above, almost no team in England would take an FA Cup trophy if it mean that they were relegated from the League because it’s financial suicide. The same applies to the Champions League, except in an even more direct, more cut-throat, more capitalist way: thereare no parachute payments to help a team get back into the Champions League.

That’s why Liverpool have struggled for three years to get back in to the Champions League. That’s why Kenny Dalglish was fired. Winning the League Cup is meaningless if you finish 8th to a team like Liverpool who have aspirations of winning the League and getting back into the Champions League. That’s why Arsenal’s 15 consecutive years of Champions League football is a massive achievement. And that is why Arsene Wenger sat on the bench last Saturday, clutching Pat Rice, and looking like a manager whose team was on the verge of relegation.

Because they were.

Times have changed in The League. The old days when winning the FA Cup meant something have all but disappeared. At


most it’s seen as a stepping stone to bigger and better things as Manchester City used it last year. But a manager would certainly never risk relegation from the Champions League places to win it.

Remember that next time someone tells you they would rather finish 8th and win the FA Cup: 8th place is relegation.

I remember as a very young boy Arsenal winning the FA cup in 1950 and thinking it was the best thing that could possibly happen as back then it was a highly regarded achievement. How times have changed. There is of course the entrance (for the winner) into EUFA Europa league to consider, as this is a worthy competition with some decent prize money.

Things seem to be coming together for Canadian cross-country skier Devon Kershaw.

The 28-year-old won his second silver medal in as many days on Sunday in the third stage of the prestigious Tour de Ski.

In Saturday's race Kershaw moved from 37th position to second, afterwards saying he believes he is one of the best skiers in the world. But the Canadian knows he is competing in a tough field.

"I respect my competitors," Kershaw said. "These guys are no slouches and are the best in the world.

"Yesterday I was beat by an Olympic and


World Cup champion. Today I got nipped by the overall World Cup sprint leader. I'm in good company right now."

Sweden's Emil Joensson won Stage 3 while Tour leader Dario Cologna of Switzerland finished third. Kershaw now sits less than four seconds behind the Swiss skier in overall time. Alexander Legkov of Russia is third overall almost 20 seconds behind Kershaw.

Canadians on top

The back-to-back silver medals for the Sudbury, Ont., native are even more impressive considering the diversity of the events: Saturday's was a distance race and Sunday's a sprint.

It was a good weekend for his teammate Alex Harvey as well. The 22-year-old finished third in his heat and seventh overall to move him up to fourth in overall standings.

"It was a good surprise for me today," said Harvey,Nicolaus Bernoulli after 1713, left unpublished and largely ignored by historians, contains scientific news and further discussion of problems in probability. The major topic is a continuing discussion of issues related to the card game Le Her. Next, in terms of ink spilt on probability, are discussions of the “problem of the pool,” or Waldegrave’s problem, generalized to more than three players, and of the game Les Étrennes (which may be translated as “the gifts”). The correspondence also contains discussions of various problems in algebra, geometry, differential equations and infinite series.

As an aristocrat, Montmort’s network included both political and scientific connections. His letters to Bernoulli contain some references to his political activities that sometimes kept him from replying promptly. His brother, Nicolas Rémond, was Chef de conseil for


Phillipe duc d’Orléans, who became regent of France after his uncle Louis XIV died in 1715 ([@e14], page 599). Among the mathematicians of the era, Montmort corresponded with Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz, Brook Taylor and Abraham De Moivre, in addition to the Bernoullis as well as several others. As a talented amateur mathematician, his work was well regarded by the mathematicians of his day. He was generous to his scientific friends. He received as guests to the Château de Montmort Nicolaus Bernoulli, Brook Taylor and one of the sons of Johann Bernoulli. He also sent gifts of cases of wine and champagne to both Newton and Taylor.

Le Her is a game of strategy and chance played with a standard deck of fifty-two playing cards. The simplest situation istwo players is considered. Initially, Montmort and Nicolaus Bernoulli wrote back and forth about the problem and came to the same solution. However, two of Montmort’s friends contended that this solution was incorrect. These were an English gentleman named Waldegrave and an abbot whose abbey was only a league and a half (about 5.8 kilometers) from Château de Montmort ([@e18], page 338). Montmort identified Waldegrave only as the brother of the Lord Waldegrave who married the natural daughter of King James II of England. Lord Waldegrave is Henry Waldegrave, 1st Baron Waldegrave, and his wife is Henrietta FitzJames, daughter of James II, and his mistress Arabella Churchill. The abbot is the Abbé d’Orbais; Montmort also refers to him as the Abbé de Monsoury. The reason for the two


players (Montmort uses the names Pierre, Paul and Jacques), all three begin by putting an ante into the pot. Then Pierre and Paul play a game against each other. The winner plays against Jacques and the loser puts money into the pot. The game continues until one player has beaten the other two in a row. That player takes the pot. The game can be expanded to more than three players, but that situation was not fully treated in *Essay d’analyse*. The second is the problem of solving the game Les Étrennes (or “estreine,” an alternative old French spelling). As described by Montmort \[([-@e18]), pages 406–407\], this is a strategic game between a father and his son. The father holds an odd or even number of tokens ingroup—Bernoulli, Montmort and Waldegrave—were for the most part clear about the issues at the conceptual level. In the end it came down to a disagreement about what it meant to solve a problem. Further, Henny recognized many modern game theory concepts, but we show that the group’s understanding of the modern notions is deeper than what Henny realized.

Apart from the technical and conceptual aspects of Le Her and other probability problems, we also get a glimpse into the social side of a rich amateur mathematician at work. Montmort was a good mathematician, but mathematics was his hobby and at times he did not have time to pursue his hobby. There is a bit of quid pro quo in his relationships with Bernoulli, Taylor and Waldegrave. Montmort acquires some

That streakiness has been a beautiful thing at times, particularly in 2016, when Bradley produced a 29-game hitting streak that included plenty of power and extra-base hits. He went on a similar tear in August 2015.

But the valleys -- which have happened in dramatic fashion in all but one of his seasons (2016) -- have been tough for him to get out of.

At 27 years old and entering his third consecutive season as Boston's everyday center fielder, Bradley feels he has put himself in position to at last be consistent.

"I don't like to feed into that so-called streaky thing. I know what I'm capable of doing and it's just getting back to doing that on a consistent basis," saidThis weekend at Yale Cabaret, it’s the new kids in town, or, more properly, in the Yale School of Drama.

Historians Against Trump

The dangers of current political movement in the west has

historians worried. The polarization, rhetoric and growing

hostilities, these are some things that pit them against

Trump. Historians against Trump is a well known group of

people who received publicity during the 2016 campaign.

They stress the importance of contingency and that things

could have gone differently. Trump has truly influenced a lot

of areas of the country ever since he came into office.June 10, 2018. File photo by The Canadian Press The national framework from 2016 also includes new building codes to reduce energy consumption in homes and businesses, additional electric charging stations in support of zero-emission vehicles, as well as policies to reduce pollution from government operations.

Although Ford has not explicitly spoken about the entire pan-Canadian strategy, Trudeau's office said that the prime minister has taken the premier-designate’s stated intent to kill cap and trade as evidence enough that he will abandon the framework too. Having its cap and trade system in place was the only way that Ontario, Canada's most populous province, planned to contribute to meeting the national carbon pollution reduction target, the prime minister’s office said. The notice from Ford would undo a commitment made by


to encourage green renovations and savings on home energy bills.

But Trudeau also said he was committed to working collaboratively with all premiers, including Ford, to make life better for Canadians. His disagreement with Ford comes as Canada faces a looming trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, that has threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian-made steel and aluminum. Trudeau said he plans to continue fighting for Canadian jobs, also encouraging the population to "buy Canadian" products and take vacations at home. He also noted that that many Canadians depend on the success of the auto industry, another target recently mentioned by Trump, but that he would continue to stand up for Canada's interests. When asked to comment on the president's recent personal attacks posted on Twitter, TrudeauAustralian foreign minister Julie Bishop resigned from new prime minister Scott Morrison’s cabinet on Sunday, two days after a bruising leadership battle that toppled former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and led to a major ministerial shake-up.

Ms Bishop announced she would move to the backbench and had not yet decided whether to contest the next election, which is due by May 2019. That decision could have serious implications for Mr Morrison’s government, which has a parliamentary majority of only one seat.

She had been foreign minister since 2013 and was replaced by former defence minister Marise Payne in the new cabinet line-up announced by Mr Morrison after Ms Bishop resigned.

Mr Morrison replaced Mr Turnbull in a party-room vote after a week of political chaos in Canberra that marked the emergence


and it cleared off by late afternoon, though the clouds stuck around until early Friday morning. We had a bit of humidity then and it has lasted through the weekend, and our temperatures have remained in the mid to high 80's during the day and the mid to high 70's at night.WATER: The water was great all week long except for the afternoon on Friday as the clouds over our area blew away, then there was a bit of a chop on the water, but not too bad. Surface conditions during the week were swells at 3-5 feet on the Pacific side and 1-3 feet on the Cortez side. Water temperatures averaged several degrees higher on the Corte side at 82 degrees while on the Pacific side withingthe area from the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks it was 80 degrees and farther out it dropped to 77 degrees. At the end of the week this cooler water had worked its way inside the Banks and we had the 77-78 degree water as close as three miles off the beach. At the end of the week the water on the Pacific side was clean and blue while the area around the Gorda Banks and off of Palmilla on the Corte side were a bit off-colored.BAIT: No change from the last report, Caballito, and frozen Ballyhoo could be had for $3 each this week, and there were actually a few mackerel to be had as well. Sardines were just a bit easier to find, but still


the current changed and the bite went dead, most boats left to look for fish in Porpoise. Boats fishing on the Pacific side were focused on the Porpoise as well, and the largest fish of the tournament was caught while flying a kite over a small pod of Porpoise while fishing just to the north of the Golden Gate Bank. The fish were spread out, from 30 miles to the south of Cabo to 40 miles to the north, with no really heavy concentration in any one place. Live bait dropped down in front of small pods of Porpoise resulted in a few big tuna as well.

DORADO: The action continued on Dorado this week, but it was a bit slower than last week, still good, but just atad slower. That said, the action was still enough to give them “fish of the week” status. Most of the Dorado were found within three miles of the beach between SolMar and Todo Santos on the Pacific side, and it seemed that the farther north you went the better the action and size of the fish, to a point that is. Slow trolling live bait was very productive, as long as there were fish in the area, and there were a few Dorado caught by non-tournament boats that went over 30 pounds. During the tournament there were a lot of smaller Dorado in the 20+ range weighed, and most of them were caught in this same area. Leaving a hooked fish in the water while bumping in and


out of gear, or trolling it at 2 to 3 knots brought more fish to the boat, and was a favorite method for most crews.WAHOO: Wahoo were the suprise of the week for many of us as there were more of them brought to the scales during the tournament than were Dorado. The largest in those two days was just over 50 pounds, but there were many on the 20+ side of the scales! Some of the fish were open water fish, but the majority were caught along the 50 fathom line on both sides of the Cape. INSHORE: There is little change in this weeks inshore report from last weeks with the exception of the Marlin action. When the fish get close like this everyone gets inThe U.S. Marshal Service announced Tuesday that it had captured one of America’s Most Wanted fugitives who is accused of creating a fake charity for Navy veterans that funneled some of the $100 million collected to Republican candidates.

Between the early 2000s and 2010, a man using the alias “Bobby Thompson” collected millions from unsuspecting donors for the charity U.S. Navy Veterans Association (USNVA), which claimed to provide support for members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Officials believe that very little, if any, of the money was ever used as intended, according to the U.S. Marshal Service.

To help legitimize his charity, Thompson allegedly donated part of the ill-gotten funds to Republican candidates like former President George W. Bush, former Republican presidential candidate John McCain and House Speaker John Boehner.

Republican


Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli reportedly personally pleaded with Thompson for donations and received $55,000 for his effort, making Thompson Cuccinelli’s second-largest donor. Cuccinelli was eventually forced to turn over the tainted money to veterans support groups.

Over the years, Thompson also attended the 2008 Republican National Convention and numerous fundraisers. The Roanoke Times obtained photos of Thompson posing with Bush, Boehner and McCain — as well as Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL), former Bush adviser Karl Rove and former Republican New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Thompson fled in 2010 after learning of a criminal investigation in several states. He was later charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, identity theft, fraud and money laundering.

The 20-year-old big man began training with the Hawks straight after Christmas before stopping a fortnight ago, as per AFL rules.

Hawthorn had a spot open because of premiership player Will Langford's retirement.

Reeves played in the Hawks' intraclub game in mid-February and also in the last quarter of the practice game against Carlton the following week.

Coach Alastair Clarkson and football boss Graham Wright broke the news to him of his signing and he will resume training at Hawthorn on Friday.

"I'm stoked at the moment – it's a dream come true," Reeves told the club's website.

LE BOURGET (FRANCE) - New airport technologies unveiled at the Paris Air Show this week promise robots replacing immigration officers and much faster identification of criminals through their biometric data.

Planes stand on the tarmac before the opening of the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, on June 13, 2015

French electrical systems company Thales premiered its new equipment designed to speed up passage through airports.

In their vision of the future, passengers will no longer deal with check-in desks. The innovation is already making inroads in many airports.

To take that even further, Thales has designed a machine that not only scans passports and prints boarding passes, but also records an image of the passenger's face and iris, which are then


shared with computers around the airport.

The images are already in the system when the passenger arrives at the immigration desk, allowing a tall, white robot to automatically confirm the person's identity without the need for human border staff.

"You would only need one agent for every four or five machines," said Pascal Zenoni, a Thales manager presenting the equipment at the air show.

"These systems can free up staff for the police and create more space in the airport," he added.

The passenger's face is also printed in encrypted form on the boarding pass so that it can be scanned by staff at the gate for a final identity check.

Thales hopes to build on its expertise as the maker of biometric passports and ID cards for 25 countries, including France.

At anothercan take months to alter.

"Our priority has always been to reduce the number of false alarms," said Samuel Fringant, from Morpho's Security Division. "Our system adapts constantly from the information it receives."

"That is necessary because you are always in a race between the people operating the system and people trying to cheat it," added Luc Tombal, from the company's border control business unit.

As well as France, the company is expected to finalise a deal in the coming months to provide the system to Estonia.

Former New York Knicks coach and president Isiah Thomas has been offered a position with the team, but is reluctant to return.

A report in the New York Daily News on Sunday cited sources close to Thomas that he has had discussions with Knicks owner James Dolan to return to the team in a management capacity.

Thomas was fired as the Knicks' coach following the 2007-08 season. He also served as the franchise's president from December 2003 to April 2008.

Until last spring, he served as head coach of Florida International University's men's basketball team for three seasons.

The mapping catheter was moved around the endocardial surface of the LV to detect the area with earliest local activation. The ablation catheter was, however, unstable at the site of earliest activation.

#Brides from #Africa #IbibioBride #AkwaIbom #Nigeria

On today's run, I bring you colourfully-attired Ibibio brides from Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria.

The Ibibio people have a rich culture and are from the Southeastern part of Nigeria. In more recent times, the people of Akwa Ibom are now from South South Nigeria.

The Ibibio traditional marriage starts with the
'Ndidiong Ufok'. This involves the family of the groom getting to know the house of the bride-to-be.

After 'Ndidiong Ufok', the groom's family 'knocks' (Nkong Ufok/Usong) on the door to officially ask for the woman’s hand.

The knocking on the door means the family of the groom asks for the girl's hand in marriage and collects the "list" provided by the father and elders of the woman’s family.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is being sought for a deposition in a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse involving his daughter and son-in-law.

In a motion filed in federal court, an attorney representing six unnamed plaintiffs is demanding an early deposition of LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson.

"Russell N. Nelson is simply a witness," Craig Vernon, the attorney for the plaintiffs, told FOX 13 on Thursday.

The lawsuit accuses President Nelson's daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Richard Miles, of participating in the abuse of children in a Bountiful ward in the 1980s. The allegations claim a number of people were involved in the abuse and suggests it was covered up.

The Miles have repeatedly and vigorously denied the accusations. Their attorney, Jamesargued that President Nelson is 94 and, given his age, a delay could impact their case.

"Russell M. Nelson has information that’s relevant. He was there right after this came to light," Vernon said.

Jardine told FOX 13 on Thursday he had no comment on the motion, but would respond to it in court.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also declined to comment, but previously has called accusations of a coverup "baseless and offensive."

This isn't the first time Vernon has attempted to depose LDS Church leaders. He represents a number of clients who have sued the Church alleging abuse. In 2017, he sought to depose then-President Thomas S. Monson as part of a lawsuit by Native American children alleging sexual abuse. A judge threw that out.

A Farewell to George

This entry is not as well prepared, as I was not as well prepared for my father's death as I might have been. He had been steadily declining all week. I flew down on Thursday. My sister checked on him about 6:30 Friday morning and he was still breathing, I checked on him a little after 7:00 and he was gone. There is an odd quiet to the house, unlike anything since they moved in here 41 years ago.

My father, George Godfrey, was born in the near in suburbs of Detroit in November of 1927. A first child, born just 15 months into my Grandparent's marriage. He was raised in the near in northern burbs of Detroit. During World War II, hequit school to go to work, and was drafted in the Army near the end of the war. After basic training in Louisiana, he was sent to defend New Jersey from the Nazis, he joked or decades that he did a good job the German army never established a foot hold in New York or New Jersey while he was there. He was discharged after about 18 months and sent home to Detroit. He worked in machine shops, with my grandfather on market gardening and keeping bees. My father was a very bright man, he was an skilled machinist, and a beekeeper, he built and operated a large honey-bee farm, selling it in 1982 and retiring to Florida. My parents bought a home in Titusville Florida in 1976,


the year before I finished High School, he lived in that home until his last day - I need to clean it out and sell it. He loved to fly and earned commercial and instrument flight ratings, he only flew for the love of flying - never for money. He was a Mason. He finished high school, after retiring. He and my mother met when her date's car broke down and he gave her a ride home, they were married for 67 years. He was a skilled investor, who took a modest about of money, and generated a comfortable retirement income and grew the nest egg. I learned a little from him on that, I wish I had learned more. After decades of used cars, he bought hisfirst new Buick in 1977, the year I finished high school. He owned a string of them after that, and enjoyed everyone of them. He drove into his 89th year. I picked up my love of adventure and travel from him. He flew because he loved it, he loved the adventure and the romance of it. He was the driving force behind my family traveling. By the time I was 6 we had been to Florida, and Arizona - twice. When I was in middle school we started spending winters in Florida. Learning how to seek the adventure in new places. After retiring my parents went back north for summers for about 30 years. They went to Hawaii twice, and Europe once. They drove from coast to coast
