Sorry, got ten things all going on at the same time ...
I made some corrections but this IRAN thing is getting deep ...
this maybe a revolution ... the police retreating and the army
coming in... this is looking serious... Pray for a peaceful solution.
after all this is coming home ... Thank You George Bush, Sr. & Jr. and Grandpappy Prescott...
hey, you know Harry Reid the congressman ... check this out ...
They spinned a horse thief that was hung into a folk hero... (just goes to show you ... you cant make this stuff up...)
******
here I found it again ... it has pictures too ... but how do you insert... nevermind ...
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that
Congressman Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid
share this common ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:
On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885,
escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'
So Judy recently e-mailed Congressman Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle.
Harry Reid:
Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:
"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate
dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his
dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus
passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks!
That's real POLITICAL SPIN
