[or-roots] Lighten Up!

[Connie Guardino]

I agree with Walt: We all need to lighten up! Names and dates without
stories ARE a bore for those who want to write history with a flare.
"Bring 'em back alive!" is the call of all thoughtful historians. And
that is why I just sent an email acking if anyone had any gay relatives.
These kinds of stories are seldom told, but they add much interest to
otherwise borning "text book" accounts of history.
