The House
Mood:  not sure
The house on the outside of this site is dark, in the middle of a storm. The reason is that our history has been dark and stormy.

If any of you know the history of Richard III, king of England you know that his brother reined as king first. His brother had 2 sons. Then the king died. His eldest son should have taken the throne and if something happeded to him, his youngest brother would take the throne.

Richard had the 2 boys locked in the tower inside the castle. He ordered one of his soldiers to kill the boys, his nephews. The soldier would not because they were children. Richard took his sword and climbed to the locked chamber and murdered his brother's children in order to take the throne for himself. Then he became know as king Richard III.

From Nam to Sweden to Memphis
Mood:  vegas lucky
My cousin Dennis Hall passed this year at the age of 91. While at the funeral I met another cousin of mine whose name I can't remember at this time. Anyway, she had heard about me from other relatives that had found my web site, so she wanted to talk to me.

She told me something about my uncle Joe Cooper that I didn't know. She told me that he had a son. Even more surprising was what she had to say about him.

She told me that Uncle Joe's son had been drafted into the army and was sent to Vietnam. Things were so bad there that he went AWOL. He fled to Sweden. There he met and married a Swedish girl. Then he wrote a book about his experience.

I can't remember exactly what the name of the book was, but it was something close to "From Vietnam to Sweden to Memphis." I can't remember the name of the author just now, but when I do I will post it here.
