George's immigration story is one of the best I've ever heard. Somebody should write a book about your grandmother, George.

Then she married a guy who tried to make a living as a bootlegger, but he was an alcoholic so he never made a profit. One of her daughters (my mom) married a bookie. People in my family don't have any problem with being on the margins of the law. Considering how she came to this country, I think we got it from her.

I think that the outlaw type background is more common than most people would like to admit. My mother's maternal grandfather kidnapped her maternal grandmother. and forced her to marry him. After having two kids, she got a divorce, and custody of the kids. You guessed it, he kidnapped the kids and moved out of state. You would not believe how deep this story was buried. Suffice it to say that I was 30 before I came across a rumor about my great grandfather being a kidnapper. His sister was so notorious
that they STILL talk about her. Whenever an older person in town wanted to know who I was, I would just tell them that I was Baby Doe Tabor's great nephew, and they knew immediately who I was talking about. Of course this just mortified my mother.

Baby Doe Tabor, my great grandfather's sister, scandalized the city by sleeping with her husband for some time before they were married. Then they went west and settled in Colorado either Durango or Silverton. Anyway the house is a museum now. Her husband was Diamond Jim Tabor.
For more interesting people, my mother's father's first cousin was the man who tried to blow up Hitler by placing a bomb in his bunker.
Hitler had no sense of humor, and, promptly had him executed. Claus von Stauffenburg was his name.
Forgive my ignorance, but who was President Kruger?

AMAZING, Tim! And who are you going to be known as to your great grand children? Pilot Tim?
President Kruger was the first Afrikaner president of South Africa - also one of the people to inspire Hitler in his undertakings, through his excellent example of racism and cruelty...

I don't know how I'll be known to my great grand-children. I hope I'll not be thought of as some stuffed shirt conservative. If I'm remembered as a radical of some kind, I'll be a success. I'll say this for president Kruger: Whatever he did that led down the path to your birth, went a long way toward compensating the world for the cruelty he visited upon it by other things.

Gosh, that felt like a minute ago, and yet I have to say - good evening, Tim! The shopping trip was great; we bought a load of ice cream, because it's my and the girls' favourite food - and then it started snowing! It was heavenly, and the girls were shrieking all the way home! So we had our ice cream, baked a mountain of pancakes to warm us up afterwards, then put up the christmas tree - I figured I HAD to take the opportunity of the first snowfall. I was fun, and nearly all the soft toys are sittin
in the tree, looking quite perplexed!!! It took us ages to do, and so this afternoon we started making decorations for the rest of the house. Sounds very boring, I'm sure, but this is one of my favourite times of the year, and this will be my first proper christmas in Zürich - we usually fly to Namibia on the 24th, and celebrate at mums with the decorated palm trees. So this will be a nice (cold!) first for me!
And what have you been up to today?

Response 122 of 180: Tim Guenther (TIM) * Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (15:49) * 4 lines
Good Evening, Riette! I'm glad you enjoyed the shopping trip, and the snow. I actually went out and bought a pick-up. My bicycle was stolen, and I. was spending so much on bicycles anyway, that I decided to get a regular vehicle.
Then, since I don't need the bicycle as my primary transportation, I can get a much cheaper bike.
How do you decorate the palm trees? I am not familiar with the custom. I will be celebrating Christmas late this year. As an experiment, my family has decided to celebrate Christmas the first week in January. I've been trying to talk them into this for some time. Since we all fly in, the savings in airfare alone, are significant. Add to this, the fact that everything is on sale. Gifts and decorations cost much less. And we avoid the holiday traffic! Plus, the weather here in December is usually pretty
good. And January gets pretty nasty. A good time to go to a warmer climate.

How very original! Where will you be celebrating?
Palm trees are decorated in more or less the same way as traditional Christmas trees - we use them, because they are as ALL OVER as pine trees are here. I love Christmas in Namibia, because it is middle of summer, and we go swimming in the sea, and sleep under the stars and corny stuff like that.

I will be celebrating Christmas with my parents in South Florida. Actually going swimming in the sea and sleeping out under the stars, sounds great, not corny at all.
In Florida, where there palm trees all over, they still decorate evergreens.

Man, it's BEAUTIFUL there. That stretch of beach is great, but it's a lot more developed than it used to be. Used to be (and I'm talking 15 or so years ago) you could park on the side of the road and hang out on an undeveloped beach. Lot of condos and resort hotels there now at Bonita Beach. Bonita Springs used to be a little town. I hope it still is. The growth and development of the Ft. Myers area really turned me off and made me never want to come back after I left for college. Like I said, I have litt
e reason to go there now that mom's gone.

Autumn: Last week you asked if I wondered if maybe my grandmother was responsible for some great tragedy because she stole a ticket to America meant for someone else. (Didn't see the post until today.)I don't know, but I'm sure she busted up a relationship. Maybe it was a man sending a ticket to his girlfriend. Maybe for years and years she said, "That bastard! He promised he'd write me!" Then she moved on with her life. Who knows if it was good or bad.

What could happen is this. Georges mom was responsible for George being
in Austin. George gets a ticket to the UT game on Friday. The game is in
the last quarter and a small, blind, disabled child comes up to George and
asks him to take him down closer to the field so he can catch the last
play of the game. Tears streaming down his eyes, George picks up the
child.
Oh, and by the way, UT is down by 6 points to A&M and Ricky Williams needs
only 5 yards to break the all time college scoring record and it just
happens that UT is on the 6 yard line, goal to go to win the game.
George rushes down to the sidelines with the small child, he falls and the
child limps out to the field just as the ball is being snapped to Major
Applewhite, the UT Quarterback. He hands it to Ricky who is sweeping wide
left. and just as he is about the dive in to the end zone the small child
steps in his path and is crushed to death, the ball comes loose, UT loses
the game and Ricky fails in his Heismann bid.
All because of that purloined letter years ago.

No, what would happen is this. I am shocked and dismayed that a disabled child is allowed to roam around a football stadium unattended. I call security and let them take care of the child. When the kid's guardians come to claim him they are charged with child neglect and reported to Children's Services and jailed. I am praised for being a good, upright, morally responsible citizen who Did The Right Thing.
And the world is a little bit better for it. All because my grandma stole a letter 89 years ago. Puts the cap on a hard-fought Longhorn victory. Ricky hears about my selfless actions, and while celebrating his new college football rushing record, gives me the keys to a new car and pays the rest of my mortgage. Oh, did I mention the disabled kid's neglectful guardians were Aggies?
