Wow! What a wonderfully written history of my family. If you would like, my
mom & I can fill in more of the story. My 12 yr old daughter is the one who
found this on the internet. I will share it with the rest of my family. I am
sorry to hear Mr. Block passed away.

I wish I had had the opportunity to meet Mr. Block before he died. So many
people from our area are grateful for the years of research and writing that he
had done. As we continue our own research on the D. R. Wingate family, we look
to Mr. Block's work as a valuable resource.

Just found your articles to day very fun ! Got a nostalgia bug for the old
days .
And one of my favorite something new of a couple years back has been Neal
Adams Sciences Project ( not to popular with Geologist ) But it fits and old
Pangaea does not fit . If you take the globe slide the continents together like
the Pangaea Geologist did , you would find that it does not fit all that well
and that they fudged and filled in to make it look like it works . Not to
mention there being no reason or engine of locomotion, that could of made the
continents sail across the globe to this day's
locations . But the truth leave big puzzles also . Thanks Good Work that you
have done Sir, the best I have seen of Historical telling ! gk

The Beaumont Enterprise is not correct. My grandfather's name was William
Yancey Fuqua, chief accountant for Kirby Lumber Company, and yes, Mr. Kirby did
name the town for him. I would like to visit Fuqua, Texas, one day soon.
Sincerely,
Sarah

There was a black panther sighting circa 1958-59 in Beaumont at a sand pit
off Lucas drive east of Old Voth Road. A local radio personality went out there
and cornered the cat, which ran him over and scratched him up trying to get
away. It was called a black panther, but I never saw it. I think that the
incident was in the Beaumont paper.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am afraid that I have discovered this website too late, as I began research
today on a book that I have in my possession. It has been in the family for
years. It is an 1847 publication of "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. While the
book is precious because of its age (and because it is a favorite novel), it is
even more special because of the inscriptions on the inside cover of the book.
In pencil is written the name "Warren G. Hawkins, U.S. Navy". Mr. Hawkins was
quite the artist, and had drawn a Navy battleship below his name, two bottles
and two drinking glasses with "Regal Pale" written beneath them, the word
"sailor" and the titles of two songs popular during the 1940's, "Always" and
"Bell Bottom Trousers", along with several musical notes and symbols. I am eager
to learn the history behind these lovely inscriptions and, more importantly, to
learn more about Warren G. Hawkins and his time spent in the United States Navy,
as I have a very fond appreciation for World War II history and 1940's culture.
I would greatly appreciate any information anyone can pass along to me. Thank
you so very much!
Sincerely,
C. Bryant

RE: Clyde W. Penrod, Master Sgt., 78th Signal Company, WWII; as referenced in
Mr. Block's story of "Christmas in Simmerath", Battle of the Bulge, WWII, I am
proud to inform you that MSgt. Clyde W. Penrod, 78th Signal Co., is my uncle, my
father's younger brother. I am equally happy to report that uncle Clyde is still
with us and will celebrate his 90th birthday in February 2010. He is mentally
and physically well. He plays golf five days per week, weather permitting, and
still enjoys playing cards. He returned home after the war and continues to
reside near his hometown in Ohio. All these years later, he still does not
regret having refused the battlefield Commission offered to him. Thank you for
publishing Mr. Block's writing and please, accept our heartfelt condolences for
his loss.
Editor: Thanks for writing Charles and please thank
your uncle for his service to our country.

I enjoyed the site. I would like to get in touch with the administrator or
Mr. Block regarding a map of Louisiana-Texas showing route of the Opelousas
Trail. Could you direct me to on online or otherwise?
Thank you, Scott Withrow in South Carolina
