Ed H., thanks for mentioning the Sultana tragedy of 1865. Here’s one site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/sultana.htm
Coincidentally, I had planned to share a few quotes from Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) who was 29 yrs. old in 1865: “We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it.. The cat that sits down on a hot stove lid will never sit down on a hot stove lid again- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.” “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”(If he had lived to read parts of the Guestbook though,,,,hmmm.)   Regards, 

(Note to GA: At the moment, trying to reply to a PM here leads to "page unavailable". Also, I just posted this and it came back with "Your session timed out..." Glad I have used your suggestion from about a year ago to transfer posts over from "Word".)

Oliver, I find that when I get the page unavailable message if I hit "refresh" once or twice (or maybe even more!) the page comes back.  As for the "your session timed out"  I repost and then get the message "you already made this post."   Dah,  seems we can't win for losing.....................
