It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote. It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag, It is the VETERANwho serves under the Flag, ALL GAVE SOME HEROES GAVE ALL I'll be EXTREMELY proud if this post reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve. "Like" this post as a silent salute to our American Veterans and Heroes." Please.

May 28, 201313 yr Author Yes, John, must have missed that one.  She is the president of the Duluth Historical Society and Duluth History Museum.  Another "high paying" job.  She is also curator, janitor, publicity, doer of all good things.  Anyone want to take a look just click HERE.  Oh, yes, I am volunteered for as web master, maker of charts and literature, and any other thing that Her holiness desires.  I still love her and next year we celebrate our 50th - and ur all invited to the party.

May 28, 201313 yr Author Thanks, Larry I remember when gas JUMPED to $0.32 a gal. Â Thought I was going to choke with the added expense. Â Last week I filled my truck up with diesel at $3.58 and thought I got a great deal. Â Oh, how times have changed. Larry Buskirk said: Fred, I was following the instructions.
