Chuck, we left here yesterday morning and got in tonight.
The procedure was unsuccesfull but man..did they ever get me high!
We could not get a motel in Charlottesville as it was parents weekend at U Va. Besides all the motels add a big increase to the rate and goug the parrents,even at Staunton they added a $100 to the room rates.
We planned to drive to New Market on the way back and to Ft. Defiance to look for old family graves from the Colonial period so we drove up there Friday and stayed.

OK, Gil. I was wondering where you were at. I remember driving down old Rt 11
in VA. Stopping at New Market for lunch. When I was a kid. 50 years ago.
Crap, I'm getting old.

It hasnt changed.
We stopped at Ft. Defiance to see the Old Stone Church and look for graves, found one from 1810.
The church is actualy the New stone church as of 1790.
The cemetary we were looking for was down the road but we will go there next trip, maybe in December.
There should be family there from 1750 to later.

We also checked out the Augusta Militray Academt museum and that was terrific.

Yes, back to 1670. The First "Finn" arived there as a bond seveant (for 7 years to pay passage)near Salem Mass..
He married the God daughter of the Govenor of Mass. and was a school teacher and a tailer I think. He was from Lanark Scottland.
I am about to fall a sleep, can harldy type.

Good Morning All from NE Ohio

Today John and I are going to our local Toy - Diecast Show. I usally find some good cars there. Last year I pick up some great items for my Circus layout.
These are cast resin wagons that are hand painted.
They look great on the train.
Have a good time and see if there are any log trucks from the 1940/50 erra and get me a bussiness card or a url for the dealer if you think of it.
Have fun...
Gil

John and I have returned from the Toy – diecast show and what great finds we came across.
I pick up two fire trucks made by Matchbox of yesteryear from the mid 1950’s.
These have outstanding detail.
