I have had interviews of Portsmouth OH people in each of my six published books. These are the dear hearts and gentle (not always gentle great athletes) people who who mostly live and laugh in my home town.
For the topics I have chosen, I have normally offered my input. In my 2002 Denison book, I had stories by Marvin Keyer and myself.
For my 2002 Integrity book, I included stories by Dick Klitch,Scott Rawlings, Dr. Myron Taylor, Cy Whitfield and myself.
I dedicated my 2003 Softball book to Wayne widdig and Don Lundy and had sories by: John Baker, Jeff and Bill Berry, Mick Kornhoff, Gene Myers and Shay Myers, Al and Rocky Nelson, Howard Newberry, Bill Newman, and Harry Shope. Jim Wharton had also served as a Sports Editor for the Portsmouth Times and was in the Softball book.
The 2004 Excellence book was all about Portsmouth area people, including: Dick Bendinelli, Tom Blackburn, Jerry "Skip" Bower, Marvin Bowling, Dr. Chester Corbitt, Stan Doddridge, Chuck Ealey, Lamoin "Bugs" Elliott, Jim Fout, Mark Frazie, Dr. Keith Gaspich, Curt Gentry, Earl "Smokey" Gibson, Danny Gilbert, Bill Gundlah, Robin Hagen-Smith,Ed Hall, Erica Hayes-Zinn, George Heller, Dick Hopkins, JR., Joe Jenkins, Dick Klitch, Frank Litteral, Dave Miller, Ed Miller, Howard Nance, Al Oliver, Ray Pelfrey, Homer Pelligrinon, Glenn Presnell, Arthur "Skinny" Preston, Ron Sturgill, Mike Swearingen, Carol and Clay Vice, Clay High School Softball girls, Harry Weinbrecht, and Jack Young.
Cyber-Cat fans in 2006 had chronological posts on a couple of University of Kentucky basketball forums- www.wildcatnation.net and a private message board. None, but from myself- SamKat- were from Portsmouth people there.
My latest book, 2007- I, God, & Country had stories by Frank Golden, Helen Kegley,Jenny Lavender,Laura McDowell, Sarah DuPuy Rapp, and myself.
I have been kicking around an idea for an additional book or just this SamKat blog and T.J. Dupuy has given me sopme valuable nuggets.
I am not too keen at reading and following instructions for computer help, but Shawn Baird, the youngest son of friends Dan and Arelis Baird, recently helped me a lot with the organization of this blog and I am currently workiong to improve it with his guidance.

Welcome
Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.
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.
