I wonder sometimes, if that's a good, or a bad thing.<BR/><BR/><B>Ilene</B> - Thanks, that was what I was hoping folks would take away from that piece. <BR/><BR/>Thank you too for the well wishes for Mom...

The museum was basically an apology to Asians who came over here to work on the railway only to be paid half of what whites made and forced into the most dangerous positions.Trevor Recordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740266736453002266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1132604089974695592005-11-21T15:14:00.000-05:002005-11-21T15:14:00.000-05:00Yep that was some fun museum...ya'll might think a...Yep that was some fun museum...ya'll might think about seein' what help you might get from your "northern" neighbors on the project you are thinkin' about tackling....Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978887834486612024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1132596347912489812005-11-21T13:05:00.000-05:002005-11-21T13:05:00.000-05:00The world is indeed a small place!The world is indeed a small place!jenbeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304789117482763021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1132436298102276592005-11-19T16:38:00.000-05:002005-11-19T16:38:00.000-05:00Spirit - Thanks bro...
