<DIV>You said your roses were from Cooleys. As in the Brownsville
Cooleys? Every time my sister and I go into the Brownsville Museum
and the volunteers in there hear us laughing, they say they can always tell
when descendants of Capt Blakely or the Cooleys are in there because
they LAUGH all the time. As I recall there was a lot of
interaction between the two families. Weren't they partners is a general
store or something? I have it somewhere, but I'll bet Cecil will jump
out of the shadows and tell us from right off the top of his head!</DIV>
