[or-roots] gentleness and tact

[Dan M]

Ahh ha ,
 see they did
 and I have read a lot of stories where they sang,
 had barn parties and quite a lot of spirited personalities.

   So if all you people want is * Just the facts Mam, just the facts* as Joe Friday always said ,well we are in for a bland time for sure.

   I founded a genealogy group, 
you think we just sit around poker faced looking for facts?
 Fearing if one of us smiled people would leave, 
Ha < not  a chance <G> l;-) l;-)

If you read Walt as a nice person
 you will see his jokes are not intended harmful, 
joke back sheesh.

  Oregon Pioneers never joked >?
   I spose they never laughed either ?

  Not true Dan,
  A few nights before we went away, a party of  neighbor boys came over to bid us good bye. Mother set out buttermilk and johnny cakes. Two  or three of the boys slipped out and after a while came in carrying a bee gum. They had held it  over a shovel full of hot coals and tobacco till the bees were all dead, so the gum was opened in  safety and the clear flakes of honey were passed around.
