Memorial of the Day

Great, great, great…Grandfathers

My maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Marion Irene Spear, and she was a direct descendant of Lemuel Spear, a Revolutionary War veteran. Fairy also has Native American ancestors who fought against the British in the war. We both have relatives who served honorably in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and other places as well.

The same holds true for most Americans of all ethnic groups. Together we share the rewards of those who have served and can be united as one great family. Rest well brothers and sisters, and may we all enjoy an enduring peace.

I have written multiple stories of life experiences, travel, and astronomy, and have been playing the ukulele for 10 years. My wife Fairy and I travel frequently to the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, and French Polynesia, and I have learned several of their native-language songs. This blog will be a forum to share experiences with family and friends.
