CHRISTOPHER & TERRY
Terry Collins passed away Thurs. morning in Dothan from complications related to ALS-Lou Gehrig's Disease. Terry got to play professional baseball & won more games as a coach than anyone else in Dothan High History but HE WAS MUCH MORE THAN THAT! http://www2.dothaneagle.com/sports/2011/oct/27/collins-always-had-concern-others-mind-ar-2617693/

On MONDAY afternoon , Nov. 26, 2001, before two Tuscaloosa businessmen were murdered @ THE HILLTOP STORE on Crescent Ridge,
I saw two of the individuals convicted on those two murders threaten to kill one of my tenants. One of the guys convicted of those two murders got busted off the WAFFLE HOUSE clip on YouTube. IT IS ONE HELL OF A NOTE to read that a SACK OF S#!T convicted of MURDERING TWO TUSCALOOSA BUSINESSMEN IN THEIR STORE in Nov. 2001 IZZZZZZZZZZZZ GITTIN' WILD & CRAY @ ON SUNDAY MORNING THIS WEEK @ THE WAFFLE HOUSE ON MCFARLAND.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, STEPHANIE TAYLOR!!!! http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20111026/NEWS/111029877/1007/news?Title=Three-arrested-for-fight-have-history-of-violent-crimes&tc=ar

Haven't heard back from Dick, will try him on phone today. Will also call Joe Lee n see if he can hook up with u. Joe is a "colorful" guy, has had his fingers in ALLLLLL sorts of musical stuff in the WDC area, besides being Root Boy's early manager, the owner of the Record Paradise and the son of the late Gov of Maryland, Blair Lee.

Btw, if your gal was in WDC in the late 70s thru mid 80s, would be hard for her to not have heard of Root Boy. Carter White House staffers would reserve blocks of tickets cuz people would line up in the morning to hear him at night.

Heading up to Baltimore for the frist time Sat. Nov. 5. Gonna be on the trail of Poe, Burr, Ellicott, LaFayette, War of 1812, Civil War, Cape May & the wilderness beaches. I'd appreciate any suggestions about visiting sites in the D.C./Maryland area. Gonna do some ROCK PILGRIMAGE research on ROOTBOY SLIM & THE SEX CHANGE BAND. Starting to tune up my blog, ZERO, NW FL. Right now I'm working on CHAPTER 4 ~ OYSTER CATCHERS IN THE BRIAR PATCH.
Here's a clip of Oyster Catchers displaying their courting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHzMeY04SIs&feature=related

Walter,

I want to thank you so much for forwarding my email & I'm really sorry it was a little inaccurate.
Old Glory went up FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MOBILE
@ 5 on Thursday afternoon ,April 15, 1813.
The 200th anniversary will occur on Monday, April 15, 2013, NOT April 13.
April 13 was the date of the terms of surrender.

I certainly want to participate in any way I can with the commemoration of this event :
THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE ADVENT OF THE AMERICAN FLAG OVER THE PORT OF MOBILE!!!!

Please feel free to forward this to ANYONE, however, I'm very cross with the staff of The Museum of Mobile & prefer not to deal with them at all.


THE MONDAY, APRIL 15, 2013
COMMEMORATION OF THE BICENTENNIAL OF
THE ADVENT OF THE AMERICAN FLAG
OVER THE PORT OF MOBILE

This is a love story; a story of love of God, Country & Family.

It's a story of how MAJOR PATRIOTIC EVENTS come to be.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, April 15, 2013,
SOMEBODY'S GONNA SHOOT OFF SOME BIG GUNZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

At 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, April 15, 1813, "amid a salvo from batteries and gunboats," THE AMERICAN FLAG rose for THE FIRST TIME over
FUERTE CARLOTA DE MOVILA.




Here's the terms of surrender from General Wilkinson's autobiography.

What these jokers don't understand is that I am a SERIOUS STUDENT of the Spanish evacuation of New Orleans in 1803, the Spanish evacuation of Mobile in 1813 & the Spanish evacuation of St. Augustine & Pensacola in 1821.

I was eating my meal & started thinking, "I'll bet those morons making a nuisance of themselves on Wall St. would love to go to the fridge & pull out a pound of freshly picked crabmeat , smother it with alfredo sauce, nuke it for two minutes & then enjoy it with some Zapps potato chips & a beer.

I want to learn more about Captain Cayetano Perez. He commanded Fuerte Carlota in Mobile when the Americans took over on April 15, 1813. Issac Joslin in his book, THE WEST FLORIDA CONTROVERSY states that Perez evacuated to Pensacola & was court-martialed & the transcript of his trials, which were not resolved until 1822, fills 1250 folios.

Then Peter J. Hamilton in COLONIAL MOBILE states that Perez came back to Mobile & lived on Fish River.

The other thing I want to do is to document the Cuban connection for all the people who owned property in Mobile when the Americans took over. Bernardo Caro owned everything from Royal to the river. He had a plantation in Cuba & bastard young'uns living there. His neighbor, James Innerarity, his neighbor on the south, owned a plantation in Matanzas Province in Cuba & had an illegitimate family there. A buddy of mine's people owned the plantation in Matanzas where Selma's William Rufus King was inaugurated VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES & he's been there & photographed the ruins.

At 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, April 13, 1813, "amid a salvo from batteries and gunboats," THE AMERICAN FLAG rose for THE FIRST TIME over the Spanish fort in Mobile. I've been told by THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY @ The Museum of Mobile that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do they plan to commemorate the bicentennial of this event on Saturday afternoon, April 13, 2013!!!!

There were a couple reasons I went crazy over the Enterprise girls in high school. One reason was I had year round access to the Boy Scout Reservation but the biggest reason for concentrating on the Enterprise chicks was my Mother's ability to go to Inez's to get her hair done and to return home to tell me everything she'd heard @ the beauty parlor about my dates with Dothan girls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drwM5jQvrpU

Overseas travel is wonderful but not necessarily connected to school. Now if she was getting some kind of certification like I did by student teaching in Ecuador~ that's different. I has a tangible benefit.

Here's my earlier post TO YOU, MY NEGLIGENT LOVER!

J~
No message from you.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I caught my second wind & went out,watched the crowd & took a couple of pictures.

My goal this weekend is to shoot out a BLAST EMAIL to ZERO, NORTHWEST FLORIDA!

HERE'S THE KINDA SHIT LEE DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT:
In March 2006 police in Austin, Texas announced that the Bandidos were the prime suspects in the March 18, 2006 slaying of a 44-year-old local motorcyclist named Anthony Benesh. Benesh, who had been trying to start an Austin chapter of the Hells Angels, was shot in the head by an unseen sniper, as he was leaving a North Austin restaurant with his girlfriend and two children. Police said that Benesh was flanked by other people and the shooter used only one bullet, fired at a distance from a high-powered rifle. The murder occurred on the same weekend as the annual Bandidos MC "Birthday Party" in Southeast Texas, marking the 40th anniversary of the club's 1966 founding. According to police, in the days before his murder, Benesh had been receiving telephone calls from Bandidos telling him to stop wearing a vest that displayed Hells Angels patches

Here's a race based one-per center gang I just discovered.

PIZZA was A BIG DEAL for THE Dothan High Class of '68. Stromboli steak sandwiches, pizza burgers & garlic bread were nice substitutes when you were broke but PIZZA WERE DAH DEAL LATE FRIDAY NITE (ed. note: after finishing a fifth of Waterfield & Frazier you got @ Barrentine's) & Joe's Pizza on North Oates was GROUND ZERO fo' usunzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Nobody could get used to how hot it was when it was served & you were so hungry that you KNEW the shattered remains of the dermis on your upper palate was gonna be pealing off like wet wallpaper by SATTIDDEE MORNING. The Rockers & the Wrestlers loved PIZZA, too.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAdottB7UU8&list=PL55BE08DF1683E979&index=10

Lee really impressed me today with his YARD SALE STUFF. My son, Christopher, is in the MACHINE SHOP class @ Shelton & is rilly steamed about cannons. Well, Lee found a book about ALL CIVIL WAR CANNONS & the front page image for this CANNON book is Troiani's painting of TUSCALOOSA'S LUMSDEN BATTERY @ Kennesaw Mountain! LUMSDEN'S BATTERY was the best little group of YANKEE KILLERS who ever lived! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW SWEET THIS IS for people like me who absolutely detest YANKEES & LOVE HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT 'EM BITING THE DUST!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtXVZR57X4g
