Not for discussion on list (unless there is a connection to the list's
topic, that is) . . . .


In case you don't subscribe to RootsWeb Review (why not? its free!), in
today's issue there's a snippet about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night.
There's nothing mentioned about my husband (then fiancé) driving all
over the county two years ago trying to get close to fireworks
(failed!) while eschewing the bonfire and fireworks half a mile from our
home, but there are a few interesting links:
