Jackie Brown

Hi, I am seeking info for a friend of my daughter. He wants to know where his dad might be. Can you help? His blood father's name is Jackie Brown, possibly with the middle name Lloyd. He was born around 1960, possibly in Texas. Jackie had a child out of wedlock with Carla Denise Germann. This is a nice kid. He turned 17 years old yesterday. Thank-you for your time.

As we embark on a new year, I have been reflecting on the growth that was accomplished during the past year and busy planning new goals for the coming year.

I would like to start this editorial by thanking the many volunteers that have dedicated so much time, effort and energy into helping us during the past year.

Honouring WWI Mascot Dog Stubby, 1916 - 1926

Sergeant Stubby was an American dog who served as the mascot of America’s 102nd Infantry Regiment during the First World War.

Stubby was stowed away on a ship to France by a young soldier called Robert Conroy and went on to participate in four offensives and 17 battles.

Lest we forget

The information gather in a Census has changed over the years. Below is a sampling of the information that was gathered in the 19th Century.

Census of 1800

Entries list name and address of head of family;

number of free whites under 10 years of age, 10 and under 16, 16 and under 26, 26 and under 45, and 45 years and upward in the household;

A New Year. A chance for new growth, new accomplishments, new hopes and dreams. One of the traditional images of New Years Day, is the Old Man Time being replaced by the New Year’s Baby.

As we mature, our goals, ideas and thoughts change. As a young man, I would look forward to the celebrations and parties or new chances at having a better year facing me, then the year that had past.

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore... So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.

An old boy was fumblin around one day

In a women’s clothing store

He’d found his wife a Christmas coat

And was headed for the door

When he bumped into a little boy

That looked like he was lost.

And he said “Mister can you help me

Find out how much something costs?

Here it is almost Christmas

And the nights are gettin cold

Winter time is on us

And my mom don’t have a coat.

I’ve been workin for the neighbors

And saving for a time”

And in his tiny outstretched hand
