My dad had returned with a purple heart from WWII and we lived in the old ORD (Oversea's Replacement Depot) barracks. Former home of the Army Air Corps camp for retraining of pilots and others (?) before returning to the front.<br />As a returning Army infantryman, our family of 6 was able to have a temporary home for the exorbitant sum (ha) or $100 per year. I loved it. I loved Proximity School. I enjoyed the Greensboro trolley rides. It was quite a time in this old man's childhood. <br />Probably my favorite times were when Dad would take me to that iconic Greensboro Memorial Stadium to see Emo Showfety and the rest of the Patriots play (we always sat on the 3rd base side). I was mesmerized by his home run exploits. As a first grader, I thought he was greater than Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb combined.<br />Maybe not. To this 6 year old, he really was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294645740160140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-49839587009846524282019-02-18T11:24:16.804-08:002019-02-18T11:24:16.804-08:00Picture was only captioned, "immigrant ship&q...Picture was only captioned, "immigrant ship".bbogodfrey17@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445063777962407833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-38474124277650540692019-02-13T17:37:51.082-08:002019-02-13T17:37:51.082-08:00Can someone tell me the context/time of the photog...Can someone tell me the context/time of the photograph?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03632460264616781801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-33017762515675188822018-12-29T17:12:46.597-08:002018-12-29T17:12:46.597-08:00Glad you liked these!Glad you liked these!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382977300388246903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-76986875868276435522018-08-31T00:08:47.771-07:002018-08-31T00:08:47.771-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458207894216837181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-78372617607149372012018-07-30T12:39:54.200-07:002018-07-30T12:39:54.200-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Credit Loan Solutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560862271536746225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-49324921743259288142018-03-15T08:04:01.390-07:002018-03-15T08:04:01.390-07:00This is something I have wanted to do but have not...This is something I have wanted to do but have not figured out how to even start,,,thank you Bob.<br />Martiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385464946124097061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-33190917269271918442018-03-15T05:15:02.692-07:002018-03-15T05:15:02.692-07:00Thank you, Richard.

His style of writing reminded me of Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in 1 Corinthians13 written around 55CE. Paul was also in jail (house arrest) in Rome. <br />Dr. King concluded his letter:<br />Never before have I written a letter this long -- or should I say a book? I’m afraid that it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else is there<br />to do when you are alone for days in the dull monotony of a narrow jail cell other than write long letters, think strange thoughts, and pray long prayers?<br /><br />If I have said anything in this letter that is an understatement of the truth and is indicative of an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything in this letter that is an overstatement of the truth and is indicative of my having a patience that makes me patient with anything less than brotherhood. I beg God to forgive me.<br /><br />Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood.<br />MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.<br />Velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244470739234651640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-16574801510314310172013-03-27T19:37:39.663-07:002013-03-27T19:37:39.663-07:00Profound observation and insight.

These older black men are out of work. The most the store has to offer is cigarettes, sugar soda drinks, whiskey and gasoline. Despite its Norman Rockwell-ish motif it shows abject poverty and dispair. You can recite the old circular argument: those black men are not hire-able because they're lazy- those black men are lazy so they're not hire-able. You get the drift. It was a time in America when it was a neo-feudalistic society with a government that was blind to the plight of a huge portion of its people, both black and white. The fact of the matter is that these black men could not travel 20 miles beyond where they lived.Velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244470739234651640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-66501970217980377902013-03-27T10:45:53.301-07:002013-03-27T10:45:53.301-07:00March 28th, 1865.

In forty eight minutes he almost covered the entire Democratic Policy Platform. The only thing he did not get into was Foreign Affairs. He took a difficult situation, the $716 Billion savings from Medicare programs that resulted in essentially, rebates to the Medicare Program from hospitals, health care providers and health insurance consortiums as a result of some Medicare reforms, and moved the money into the Medicare general fund thereby making that program solvent until 2024. A news analyst on MSNBC, Ezra Klein, tried to explain this situation last week after fact-checking the Paul Ryan speech, on this very same subject. He admitted that it would be a difficult topic for the Democrats to explain but Bill Clinton pulled it off in a way ordinary people could understand. He finished that topic by saying “…after listening to Paul Ryan’s speech [on Medicare] I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…! ” That was a brilliant rhetorical “smack-down”.<br /><br />His speech was NOT divisive, nor sarcastic, nor hateful. It was uplifting, optimistic, and specific when it came to addressing the Party’s major points. He methodically enumerated the Democratic Party’s platform on at least a dozen specific issues. It was a Home Run for the DNC and when you compare to two conventions, the RNC was left way behind.<br /><br />Marco Rupio, RNC, spoke about himself, his family and his modest beginnings and then spent two sentences at the end of his speech endorsing Mitt Romney. They were looking out for themselves in 2016 to be sure.<br /><br />Gov. Suzanne Fernadez, New Mexico Republican, spoke all about herself and her family and how she guarded the church parking lot at night while her mother played bingo at church and how she carried a .357 Magnum hand gun and that brought the crowd to their feet. Would she use the gun on a kid stealing a car battery in the parking lot? I wonder, ummm.<br /><br />Gov. Cris (El Gordo) Christie, NJ Republican could only talk about himself and his mom but left his dad completely out of the picture despite the fact that his dad was in attendance and the only living parent he had. He’s unfit health-wise, and he’s unfit politically for America, plain and simple. <br /><br />High marks have to go to Anne Romney and her speech for her husband was a really good one. The DNC was honored by a genuine war heroine, Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee from the Iraq War. Her Blackhawk helicopter <br />was shot down by an RPG during combat ops in Iraq.<br /><br />All in all, I think it was a “Home Run” of a convention and they easily out-classed the RNC, Hands down. How about another Dem heroine, Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords?<br /><br />The Republicans claimed that the DNC speakers never mentioned God. Well, they said the Pledge of Allegiance every day and God was mentioned before anything else and Gabrielle Giffords came to recite the Pledge and took the entire arena down. What a moment In American Politics.<br /><br />The RNC on the other hand, while the speakers talked all about their humble beginnings, they talked mostly about themselves and they almost forgot to mention the Candidate. Let’s hope it translates into votes for the Dems.<br />Velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244470739234651640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450908114832969256.post-38477335341480257902012-09-05T08:56:14.139-07:002012-09-05T08:56:14.139-07:00I think her speech was nice, but the speech I thin...I think her speech was nice, but the speech I think that best explains this election was the speech delivered by Lincoln Chafee.
