Mine starts with M, so you're about in the middle no matter what.<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised nobody's raised a ruckus about a Confederate general's statue on a state capitol, although he did hold office after the war, and I think did pretty well in business too.<BR/><BR/>I'd say Happy Birthday in French except I can't remember how, and one of these days I'm going to be as old as the Russian lady who got booted out of the court of Tsar Nicholas II after the Revolution who taught me as a kid such Russian accented French as I have left.Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-83802434158729004102009-02-06T09:20:00.000-06:002009-02-06T09:20:00.000-06:00Happy Birthday, Father!Happy Birthday, Father!Leo Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914839865035044534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-40119025766447838482009-02-06T00:59:00.000-06:002009-02-06T00:59:00.000-06:00Dear PE:You're correct about P.G.T.

His original last name was Toutant-Beauregard, and he supposedly un-hyphenated it when he went to West Point to bump himself up alphabetically to the letter "B."<BR/><BR/>General Gordon was also a great man, whose magnificent statue on the Georgia State Capitol grounds in Atlanta continues to face north. It is a real beauty.<BR/><BR/>General Gordon was the first CIC of the UCV (not to mention post-war governor and U.S. Senator of Georgia), and coincidentally shares my birthday which is, my goodness, today!Rev.

John B Gordon?<BR/><BR/>My kind of guy. Story is, when he went home all shot up after the war and first saw his wife, he calmed her with saying Don't worry, I've just been to an Irish wake.Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.com
