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.

Portsmouth High School Alumni Directory 1891-2010

I received my copy of the very well done Portsmouth High school alumni directory 1891-2010, yesterday 10-12-10.  I have only perused it a little, but I highly recommend the book.  Besides listing the names of class graduates and profiles of many alumni, the geographical section shows many living places of Portsmouthites throughout the country and a few from throughout the world.

Your name may or may not be listed in the biographical section to the disappointmant of a lot of us, but good friends Jack Plymale, Stephen "Doc" Yeagle  and Jim Fout are found in the class year Section for their class (these three in 1945).

I am a sucker for getting such directories (not inexpensive); however, University of Kentucky directories, copies of Trojan annuals (Many national award winners thanks to miss Freda Burke and her student staffs)  and now this directory become favorites of mine.  I am proud to consider myself a 'people person'.  I repeat a cliche' (at least of mine) that "God created nothing more interesting than people".  People who share the 'cultural center of our universe' (Portsmouith Ohio, of course) should enjoy looking through this directory.
