For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Sam Kegley book signings in Portsmouth Tuesday, November 19

Sam Kegley's book signing at Newberry's Sporting Goods, 1-3, and at Portsmouth Public Library's Local Author's Showcase, 5-7 PM on Tuesday November 19th:

Sales to Portsmouth purchasers of my previous books have helped me to nearly break-even in his book publishing efforts.  The current book "Acquaintances with Integrity III", Sam's 10th,  has Frank Gerlach, Denny Ramey, and Joe Robert's interview stories.  Sam Has enjoyed interviewing and writing the stories which each person edits themselves. Other Portsmouthites' stories are in the "original" Acquaintances book and the "II" editions, such as:

"Original"-    2011
                    
                     Klitch, Dick
                     Rawlings, Scott
                     Taylor, Myron
                     Whitfield, Cy

"II"-               2002

                      Bennett, Gene
                      Bierley, Blaine
                      Clark, Carl
                      Daehler, William, Dr.
                      Fitch, Steven C., Atty
                      Hunter, Frank
                      Looney, Bob (John)
                      Lynch, Carolyn
                      Lynch, Tom
                      Ross, Dan, PhD

In addition to the "trilogy" of "Acquaintances" books, Sam has included Portsmouth people interview stories in most all of his books.

Sam (PHS 50) was a Mound Park Urchin during the WW II years and the post war years throughout the remaining fortie's.  Most concentration of Portsmouth stories were in "Softball 'It don' Matta' " (2003) and "Excellence in Athletics in the Portsmouth Area" (2004).  

Jeanie (Jeanette Weddington Kegley-New Boston HS- 48, my wife of soon-to-be 62 years) will be with me and selling the books or taking orders for some of the older ones, all at discounted prices.  I hope many friends will "stop by and buy" as the restaurant on the south end advertised years ago.  We would enjoy seeing each one of you.

Thank you Portsmouth, Ohio friends and family!
