ETA--Aimee, we're Campbells too. My brother's name is Andrew Campbell {Last Name}, as a matter of fact. Cousin!
Cousin!
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

If I remember my Scottish history correctly, the Campbells are not so well liked for siding with Bonnie Prince Charlie in whatever Scottish/British war that was then with the Charlie and stuff.
Huh. Our ancestors may have crossed paths, as the Venters were originally Dutch mercenaries hired by Bonny Prince Charlie to aid in his war.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Heh. I just finished re-reading
Oliver Wiswell.
the Campbells are not so well liked
In part because it was a Campbell in charge at the massacre at Glen Coe.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
There is also another high falutin club called The Mayflower Society. That Joe can join. Personally, I don't think it should count if your ancestor FELL OFF THE BOAT.
I need to hear this story.

Hec, JZ, and/or SA, could you let me know what is going on this afternoon, especially if I am supposed to be picking SA up somewhere? Thanks!
She's taking the CalTrain at the time you suggested (5:50ish?) and you should definitely collect her at your end of the line.
The Halloweenie will be eligible to joint the D.A.R. as Johan Schmeh fought in the Revolutionary War, reputedly being at Valley Forge that winter. (He was from Maryland so this seems possible.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well, shit. Here I was taking perverse pride in my family being one of the most non-Anglo white families ever, and now I've blown it.
This is the kind of thing you really should tell a girl before you knock her up.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm such a vain femme. I love this picture
Just me, or between the red smear and the look in her eyes in that shot, wouldn't juliana fit in neatly with Boxer Rebellion era Spike and Dru?
Not really here, back to lurking, errr, working.

Okay! My Dad's line has been in the USA since 1763. Now you know. My Mom's side might also be that old, but I'm not sure. They definitely fought in the Civil War though, 'cuz I've seen the pictures.
