  Larc,

  Sorry, I have been at work and did not get a chance to respond.

  Also, sorry to hear of the death of your battery.

  I don't think I had Iowa history when I was in school, I am not sure if Iowa was even a state then, so your foggy memory is centainly better than my non-existant memory.

  Thank you very much for the lesson, I am truely amazed at all of this unintended education I have received today. I have been greatly new-lightened. Didn't know about Ditto and Iris' son Sam, did Sam have a son?

  About the baby thing, I over-heard someone say that they did not come from storks! Could that really be true?

  Thank you again for the history lesson.

  Wow, have I learned a lot this morning. I always thought Ibid was the brother of Iris. Now if I could just find out what ditto means.

  BTW, Hi Greven and Coffee.

  i know a lot of jws that seemed to disappear, and everybody just stopped talking about them.

  i would love to be reunited with some of the people i grew up with in good old c-town (cleveland).

  i'm 27, and if you lived on the east side of cleveland, i probably knew you.

  Sam,

  As far as i know the Mucks are still Jws. My son left the org. about a year ago, that was a real blessing to me, but the rest are still hanging on to the WT.

  Sam,

  Ed is the older one. Mucks son got into a little trouble, along with some other elders kids. Before they could set up a committee meeting Mrs. Muck took the son and flew to Fla., telling Mr. Muck he could follow them or not but she was not going to let their son be brought before the committee. Mr. Muck followed.

  I knew Coopers moved to Indianapolis. That's where they were the last I knew.

  Loyd is in a nursing home, he got to much for Veda to handle.

  I did not know the whole story of JC, we were once close, I really liked him.

  Jan, OOPS. You are right! Not sure of the prize yet. Something like a free trip to Norway.

  this link: http://www.oneplace.com contains a huge array of online sermons from respected christian speakers which may beof encouragement to many.

  i particularly enjoy the program "insight for living" (see alphabetical list from above link) by chuck swindoll (dallas theological seminary.

  every one of his talks (they last 30mins approx mon-fri) has been an eye-opener for me.

  Sam, Yes, Mucks moved there, I don't know if you know the story, kind of under pressure. I didn't remember hearing that Coopers moved to Fla. Artie moved there (one of the first) My bro-in law Loyd has altzhimers (sp?) I think his wife is going to get a winter home in Fla. There are others who also moved to Fla. Some others in my family.

  You may know that R. Newlon died several years ago and so did J. Conn.

  Larc, I am in Greenville. My home was Richmond, Ind. I left there about 20 years ago.

  Sam, Yes, London is still operational, my family attended an assembly there about 3 weeks ago.
