None of Mrs. Raphael?<br /><br />To most folks, those days are ancient History. We lose sight of how close we are in time to 2 or 3, even four, generations of our forebears. I'm 74 and I remember my grandfather, Alphonse Arthur Joseph Paquin, telling about all the excitement in the village of Manville, RI on the day the newspaper reported that William Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, was killed on July 14 1881.<br />I had a great uncle, Omer, of approximately the age of my grand parents who was said to have been left at the gate of an outpost in Quebec, Canada as a newborn. Seems the tribe that his mother belonged to didn't cotton to raising a half breed. He had several daughters and sons, only one of which carried the coloration and facial features of her grandmother. She was also the semi-loose cannon of the bunch. She was my favorite aunt A real pistol!<br /><br />I think of History in a slightly wry way:<br />If any one of us could go back in a time machine and collect from each generation of our ancestors the one man who lived the longest in that generation and assemble all of them in one room, we wouldn't need a very big room to include the one who lived at the time of Jesus. Somewhere between 20 and 25 guys is all. Imagine the stories they could tell.<br />AramAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815674853707625218.post-18205115964475079492010-12-01T09:29:51.634-07:002010-12-01T09:29:51.634-07:00I fool interpret a few of the articles on your web...I fool interpret a few of the articles on your website trendy, and I unqualifiedly like your tastefulness of blogging.
