<p class=MsoNormal>Hi V-Peeps –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have just returned from visitin’ my sister in
Newbury Park, California.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We sat, shared a few laughs, a bunch of memories and (of
course) a few beers, as we went through a load of old family photos, decidin’
who gets what photos.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I think we both made out very well. So well, that I
decided to share several of them with y’all . . . jus’ to show you
that (in many cases) the more things change, the more they remain the
same. (No, not the photo when my dad had me (at age 6) wear one of my
younger sister’s dresses for Halloween . . . Besides, I gre out of that
years ago).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I am talking about is culturally-based . . . such as
the scanned photo of my Aunt Grace’s marriage license of April 30, 1911<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=928 height=787 id="Picture_x0020_0"
src="cid:image003.jpg@01CB269C.6A3E42D0" alt=MarriageLicence043011.jpg><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Notice anything missing from today’s marriage
licenses?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>More to come, V-Peeps . . . like photos of North Hollywood
during the mid-1920s where my mom grew up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Stay tuned . . . (or you can always hit the old
<DELETE> key if this bores you.<o:p></o:p></p>

are an oppressed minority forced to move headquarters from state to state in search
of friendlier tax codes--sometimes being forced to live just off our shores in
tiny mailboxes." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
