Fire My Words..This MYSPACE is intended to be a nexus for others who also enjoy the study of history, historical fiction, historical movies, alternate historical fiction, reenacting groups,natural history, the RennFest,and other related topics. I rotate the friends list frequently to help others find you more quickly. I also appreciate our armed services personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Lately though, being a patriotic American who wants to see us elect a good leader for all Americans, I find myself drawn more to the political world. I hope no one is too offended by my views expressed on this site. If so, too bad!!! :) Laser My Words Laser My Words Laser My Words "Dear Lord, Be good to me, the Sea is so wide, and my boat is so small"~Irish fishermans prayer Laser My Words .. Myspace Layout Generator by TheMyspaceLayout.com YEAH, SPORTS HISTORY IS COOL TOO! Laser My WordsMY MOM AND MY SWEETHEART WITH CAPTAIN JACK AT THE MARYLAND RENASSAINCE FESTIVAL.I am an educator at a juvenile detention center where I teach Science, Social Studies, and Entrepreneurship. When it comes to politics, I do not let party affiliations or loyalties influence my vote at all. I simply research the candidates, look at voting records, speeches,published positions, I look for contradictory statements,and sometimes I just have a gut feeling of a candidate's trustworthiness and decide who I will vote for from that. It usually turns out Republican. Probably, the thing that I hate the most about politics is the ridiculous extent that the loyalists of both sides often go to when pushing their agenda. I support the troops overseas and at home 100%. I presently have a brother in Serbia, who was also part of the first Iraq war and a second brother who has returned safely home from his tour this 2nd time in Iraq. My recently passed grandfather served in the U.S.Navy Armed Guard during W.W.II where he fought the Nazi U-Boats in the Atlantic and later the Japanese in the Pacific. My other grandfather served his country by building battleships and Liberty ships. I also have uncles' who served in Korea, Italy, France, and at Iwo Jima. I am very proud of them all, just as I am proud of all our present day soldiers. Laser My WordsTo the folks promoting the migrant worker program, you also are not thinking. You are destroying what the founding fathers built. My great grandfather came here legally from Italy in 1895 through Ellis island. He worked his butt off in the New Jersey shipyards. This was before America had welfare programs, social security taxes, and all the other programs that these new illegals are taking advantage of. You are allowing jobs to go to foreigners as unethical Americans who need serious sanctions hire these soldiers of "The Reconquista". Eventually, we might all need to learn Spanish just to get along and survive in this country that all those English speaking guys like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton,Ben Franklin,John Hancock,etc risked their necks for. You are making it possible for them to take America away from us without even a fight. You are destroying what our American soldiers have died for and are dying for today. Thanks soooo much. ............................THE KING OF ENGLAND GREETS THE KING OF DUNDALK AND HIS PRINCESS. |

| WANNA KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE UNUSUAL CIVIL WAR REENACTMENT PICTURE ABOVE???No, it's not the world's smallest Civil War reenactor. That little guy, then 3, now 14 is my oldest son. Way back when, the movie "Gettysburg" opened and became the standard for Civil War movies and we got hooked. I had a few reenactor buddies who got bit parts in the movie as one played a member of southern Lt. General James Longstreet's (played by Tom Berenger) staff. Anyway, my son saw the movie as I had bought my own copy of it and decided that for halloween, he wanted to be a Civil War cavalry officer. So I set to work on a costume for him. The hat and accessories (buttons, hat, insignia, etc) came from the same shops at Gettysburg which supplied the actors costumes. My ex made the pants and jacket for him according to the design I laid out. By the time we were done, it was a scaled down version of the uniform of Colonel Devin of Buford's (Sam Elliot) Calvary Brigade. Needless to say, my son was thrilled and had a great Halloween. He even won a prize for the best costume at our community association's party.A few months later in March, through my various connections, I found out that a new monument to the soldiers of Maryland was scheduled to be dedicated at Gettysburg. Knowing that there were several reenactment groups scheduled to be at the ceremony, my son decided that he wanted to wear his uniform again. So we packed up the family, grandparents and all, and off we went. It was a great time as we got to meet then Governor Schaefer and a real General of the Maryland National Guard as well as witness the dedication ceremony. It was a huge crowd, of spectators, marching reeneactors, politicians, and military bands. Many grown men and women dressed as reenactors noticed my son and aproached him. Several even wanted photos with him and he drew admiring onlookers where ever we went. However, the highlight of the day was when at one point we finally had a few minutes of time alone and my son looked out across a grass field near the monument site. About 60-70 yards away there was a small group of southern reenactors all dressed in gray. One of them was even portraying legendary General Robert E. Lee. My son took notice and reached up to grab my arm saying, "Look daddy, it's General Lee!" I then said, "Let's go see him". That's all my boy needed to hear as he took off at a run towards General Lee. At a few paces off, Lee noticed the boy running up to him. My son then stopped at attention and offered a perfect salute to Lee, followed by Lee returning the salute and reaching out to take his small hand. Then in his best southern drawl while staying totally in character, the gentleman said to my boy, "Suh, are you gonna order a cavalry charge upon my position? If you should order me off this hallowed ground, I shall leave at once". Needless to say this was the highlight of the event for us and the whip cream on top of a perfect day.FROM THE LOG OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS" ...... The Log of Thursday, October 11 1492 combined with the log of Friday, October 12 1492 The land Discovery (somewhere in the Bahamas) "The moon, in its third quarter, rose shortly before midnight. I estimate that we were making about 9 knots and had gone 67 !/2 miles between the beginning of the night and 2.00 o'clock in the morning. At two hours after midnight, the Pinta fired its canon, my prearranged signal for the sight of land............. When we caught up with the Pinta, which was always running ahead because she was a swift sailer, I learned that the first man to sight land was Rodrigo de Triana, a seaman of Lepe..........." | |
