[or-roots] gentleness and tact

[Ray Powell]

I was unaware that the year they came to Oregon mattered. What matters is that they came, survived and in spite of the look on the faces of those having their pictures taken, I am sure they laughed, joked and had fun. I, for one, appreciate the stories even if they don't mention MY family because it gives me a better glimpse of how my family probably lived. If I find a story uninteresting I find the delete button very easily. Keep up the anecdotes for all of us "lurkers", someday I will have found enough information to be able to pass on anecdotes, as well.

  Mine came in 1843 and ? So?

     Stories about the past go with names, 
  names go with places 
  and stories make a name a personality
   for the notes of the person .

     As for jokes,
   I see lots of jokes made some funny,
   some not, 
  delete works.

  But to leave a list made for Oregon, 
  well, we dont have that many, 
  and every one will have ( joking) at times.


     Oregon Pioneers never joked >?
   I spose they never laughed either ?

  Have you told this to Walt Davies? He is the one you should be writing to. He is rude to good people who are searchng for Ancestors. This is awful, you people are saying jokes to one another. What an insult to our Oregon Pioneers and mine came in: 1852.
