I've long thought it would be fun to create a walkway with ancestor stones and I've always pictured them as concrete disks with the names of people I've become fond of in my research stamped into them .ChicagoGenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845802294693283275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375418294983334856.post-61189978302919601222010-09-11T18:57:51.801-07:002010-09-11T18:57:51.801-07:00This is a great story.

Unfortunately living his entire life in England has left us with very little to remember him by. But I saw to it that his family claimed his medals from the British Army and they are now home with us. <br />The Dobro also caught my eye. My Dad loved the Dobro, and it was the last instrument he played before his passing last year at Christmastime. This story has touched me in many ways. Thanks so much for sharing!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235026202257819623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375418294983334856.post-84336275112928705352010-09-11T06:54:50.990-07:002010-09-11T06:54:50.990-07:00You are a great storyteller, and this is a great s...You are a great storyteller, and this is a great story. <br /><br />That Dobro looks brand new. How wonderful that you have it and continue to memorialize the original owner. <br /><br />My current favorite player of this type of instrument is Mike Auldridge. He plays a Mike Auldridge (what else?) model of Beard Respohonic guitar. I also love the playing of my friend, Matt DeSpain, who is currently a member of J.D. Crow and the New South.GrannyPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860176725911469162noreply@blogger.com
