February 16, 2008On Saturday, March 8th, my friend, Gary
Pinkerton, will be presenting a program on Trammel’s Trace at the

This presentation will focus on Nicholas
Trammell’s time in Arkansas and the connection at Fulton, AR between
the Southwest Trail across Arkansas and Trammel’s Trace at the Great
Bend of the Red River.
If you get a chance, come check out his
presentation. The program is free & open to the public.

I received word today that my dear friend Pat
Anthony, who lives in Clinton, Arkansas was devastated by the recent
tornados in Arkansas. She has lost all of her home except two
rooms and the garage. Her neighbor across the street was
killed and 5 neighbors totally lost their homes. Several of
you may know her from the genealogy scene. While thankfully they
survived, there is lots of work to be done trying to rebuild.
Please keep her in your prayers and if you would like her address to
send her a card, just let me know. - PrisFebruary 14, 2008
I was surprised to find out that with all the

February 7, 2008I know I am terribly behind at posting so here
is my excuse. Most of you know how much my little doggie means
to me, sometimes doggies are as close to people as real people.
Peachy Lou was diagnosed with cancer this week and has 1-2 months to
live. I have also been thinking about all the people who lost
family and friends this week that didn't get "time" to say goodbye
so I am going to take advantage of my "time" and spoil my little dog
to no end. Will post when I get back in my routine
again....however, please feel free to drop me a line if you need
anything!.

I have received another letter from someone
who has adopted the grave of one of our Arkansas boys buried on
foreign soil. Read the letter and if you have any information
that will help find his family and put some history to his
name...drop me a line at
ArkansasTies@ArkansasTies.com or
Rob Stal at rob.stal@hotmail.com. Mr. Isaacs was from Lonoke,
Arkansas.Dear Sir, Madame,
Although I was born many years after the second world war (1983) I
know that without the American soldiers my life in Holland would be
very different. I recently adopted the grave of
Odis M Isaacs at
Henri Chapelle in Belgium.
At the time of his death SSGT Odis M. Isaacs (38294449) was serving
with the 119th Infantry 30th Division. He died on 19 December 1944
and is now buried in plot C row 01 grave 33. He entered the service
in Arizona.
I visit the grave every 2 weeks to bring flowers. I just started
doing research on Mister Isaacs. I can't find a lot about his life
during the war. I hope to find out how and where he died. And hope
to know more about him during and before the war. I hope you can
help me with my research.
Kind regards, Rob Stal

I guess I screwed up my What's New page for a
few days thinking I had upgraded it to 2008. Duh!

drop me an email and let me know they can read this.

I moved everything from 2007 to the Archives
so you can find all of that
here. We shall just have to
start from scratch for 2008.
Also, I am pretty disappointed in the
Sandwiching in History tour being canceled at Marlsgate Plantation
tomorrow. There is an alternate tour at the Scott Plantation
Museum but it just won't be the same. I am sure there were a
lot of people looking forward to it.
Christmas was light but I believe everyone
and there mother was checking out my website over New Years.
If I haven't filled your request yet, be patient, I am getting
there.
