These ladies must be able to prove that they have ancestors who fought in <B>the American Revolution</B>, or they will be asked to leave the room.<BR/><BR/>And yes Jon. <B>It is truly fascinating that the American Revolution is as important here on the West Coast as it is on the East Coast. <I>After all these years we are still one people. One country.</I></B><BR/><BR/>By the way, you might like to know that <B>I, J.C.Smock, the Founder of Sherwood Oregon USA</B>, can trace my ancestry back even earlier than the DAR can. I go all the way back to the days when New York was called New Amsterdam!<BR/><BR/>Yo! You'd have to be a Native American to top that! <B>The Native Americans were here for thousands of years of course.</B> I could tell you something about that, but there's not enough time.JayCeeSmockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775540559297619253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-53737298965816621532009-02-06T12:15:00.000-08:002009-02-06T12:15:00.000-08:00So are these ladies related to people who weer in ...So are these ladies related to people who weer in the Revolutionary War?

The D.A.R. is one of the most dignified and admired societies in America. Sherwood is proud to have a chapter of the D.A.R. locally. <BR/><BR/>However, it must also be said that The <B>D</B>aughters of the <B>A</B>merican <B>R</B>evolution do not think well of <B>Thomas Jefferson</B>. Jefferson predicted that by the Year 2000, everything west of the Mississippi River would have staged its own Revolution by now. He predicted we would have formed our own country by now. He would have been as disappointed with us as the D.A.R. is proud.<BR/><BR/>Of course Jefferson was a Father of Our Country and so the D.A.R. admire him for that reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-5905505553534823262009-01-30T15:42:00.000-08:002009-01-30T15:42:00.000-08:00What is D.A.R?

Crystal Leta Keck came out west on a train with her little sister. Her parents died of some disease. The girls came to Portland to live with their married sister on 1st Street in Portland. Her ancestors were Native American and they stole horses from the British to give to the Americans!!True Story!!Lilly Morgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076989047146401507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-73398768601115501782009-01-11T11:03:00.000-08:002009-01-11T11:03:00.000-08:00Actually these people hate you, Anonymous.

I would like to thank my handlers; Clyde List and Joan Reynolds, my groupies, Odge and Selma, and my production managers, Polly Blankenbaker and Shelly Lamb.<BR/>Also I'd like to thank our accountant, Irene Baker and my copy editor Marilyn Stinnett. Also thanks to my publisher Ty Richards of Cheyenne Printing. Without all of these people and a few hundred more, I would not be a DAR award winner!June ReynoldsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
