[or-roots] Re: Oregon Trail Musings

Dear P.:

Thank you for your kind words.

As a native Oregonian, related to almost everyone with ancestors who passed
through
Brownsville or Linn County, Oregon, in the 19th century...  I feel it my
obligation to
post as much genealogy data as I can before it's too late.

soapbox mode: ON
My late brother, Doug Houk, came to live with me in the mid 1990's to make
his
fight with the big C.  He lost... November 6th, 1997!  Before he died he
gave me
the monies to buy a computer (scanner/printer/modem) and a internet
connection for
his use.  He never came home from Paridise Valley Hospital.  You will find
his ashes
near the Oregon Trail in Baker City.  So what if the BLM wants to put my a**
in
jail!

So P., I will keep on "keep'n on".
Cecil

Dear Cecil,

More power to you, and keep up the posting.  Anyone who doesn't like it can,
as you said, hit the delete key.  As for the rest of us, we are enjoying
your postings.  As a native Oregonian, I do not know enough about my state
and am happy with picking up a bit of her history.  Thank you.
