It is not up on our website yet because it is a 2018 title. <br /><br />They are utterly remarkable, and we believe will be one of the most important firsthand accounts of the Civil War ever published.

God Bless the South! <br /><br />Remarking on Public Education, I do believe we have been sold a load of crap. As a taxypaying citizen as we all (I think) are. Public education should be everything that a private school can be and more. We are all putting our quarters in a fixed slot machine. The house always wins. <br /><br />DDS<br />ENCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-10165772217844555002012-11-11T17:15:34.319-05:002012-11-11T17:15:34.319-05:00Tried to post this but computer won't let me t...Tried to post this but computer won't let me this afternoon.

Did you ever wonder why many of the captains of industry during and after WW2 reportedly never had more than an 8th grade education? Simple they didn't need one. Most eighth graders were far better educated than most college graduates today.<br />I guarantee you don't know anyone who could pass this eighth grade civics test. http://sfmedic.blogspot.com/2012/08/do-you-know-anyone-who-can-pass-this.htmlDavehttp://sfmedic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-32820784823075048372012-11-11T14:21:33.349-05:002012-11-11T14:21:33.349-05:00They also serve who only teach their kids right fr...They also serve who only teach their kids right from wrong and how to work for a living.<br /><br />Damn, if that ain't a keeper and posted.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-78921822694327758812012-11-11T14:20:34.289-05:002012-11-11T14:20:34.289-05:00Thanks and it is just amazing at what keeps surfac...Thanks and it is just amazing at what keeps surfacing.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-20393955734108081292012-11-11T14:13:48.901-05:002012-11-11T14:13:48.901-05:00Well, how could I have ever made it without tobacc...Well, how could I have ever made it without tobacco tax money? Every thing at NC State had an R. J. Reynolds touch in the 50's. Home schooling just wasn't done in the 30s and 40s, although my mother with a tenth grade education would have done well by me. She taught me to read at home long before I entered first grade. And while my dad was in Europe she brought home arm-loads of books from the Pack Library, next to the Vance monument, so I salute her also on Veteran's Day. They also serve who only teach their kids right from wrong and how to work for a living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-24690431265106540042012-11-11T14:11:49.728-05:002012-11-11T14:11:49.728-05:00I went to the link and finished the article.

At dinner Friday night we saw a young man in a wheelchair with only one leg. I had just been discussing the purchase of a wheelchair with my wife and there he was. I am never allowed to feel sorry for my self because soon there comes one along with bigger problems. Today is the greatest day of my life. Last week I took the grandchildren and their parents to dinner to celebrate November 2 and 30 years without a Salem Menthol.
