Ohio Forum Members Roll Call

[jakeoregano]

Just got home and saw this.. This is Dwayne calling in from Westerville, OH just NORTH [8D]and a little east of Columbus. Right around the corner from Buckeye.

[ChiefEagles]

Sons of the Confederacy. Want to know the War history of the first person in the Eagles family I am named after? Want to see my Rebel sabre from my Dad's Mom's Dad*? Want to see the letters from my Mom's Mom's Dad [a Daws, now Dawes, he was stationed on the Outer Banks to hold the Yanks back]?

*Interesting story: My Grandmother on my Dad's side. Her Dad [a Davis] was badly wounded by some Yank in some battle. A fellow soldier picked him up and carried him to a field hospital. Thus helping to save his life. Later after the war my Grandmom's Dad went to thank the fellow. Met the fellow's sister and she became my Grandmom's mother.

Nothing but GRAY in these veins. [:D]

In fact, NC gave more men to fight for the Confederacy than any other state. Where was the last Army of the Confederacy surrendered? Not Appomattox. Benton's Farm House between Raleigh and Durham NC. Now talk about NC.

Some of us have never surrendered. [;)]

South might have better weather, but this time of year is football weather and the best is played outside, UP NORTH [8D].

GO TERPS!! ACC ALL THE WAY

The following brings a tear to mine eyes! [:D]

Beautiful Ohio

I sailed away;
Wandered afar;
Crossed the mighty restless sea;
Looked for where I ought to be.
Cities so grand, mountains above,
Led to this land I love.

Chorus

Beautiful Ohio, where the golden grain
Dwarf the lovely flowers in the summer rain.
Cities rising high, silhouette the sky.
Freedom is supreme in this majestic land;
Mighty factories seem to hum in tune, so grand.
Beautiful Ohio, thy wonders are in view,
Land where my dreams all come true!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Chorus as written by Ballard MacDonald

Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream
While above the Heavens in their glory gleam
And the stars on high
Twinkle in the sky
Seeming in a paradise of love divine
Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine
Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see
Visions of what used to be.

That's because you live in the Nurth and by a Big Lake! ! ! [^]

I'm a first timer checking in from Strongsville, OH, 20 miles southwest of Cleveland.

What exactly am I getting myself involved with here ?

Welcome to the CTT forum


as you can see, there are several other members in the Columbus area.

[Jim Duda]

Tombo - Maybe you should add the city after the names like
wrmcclellan - Dallas, TX
Duda - Austin, TX
...etc.

[tmcc man]

Spankybird, do not forget me on the list to be in Ohio.

[dwiemer]

Chief, I think you can handle this like Sgt. York (another from Dixie) who took on the Germans. If you need backup, just give the ol Rebel Yell! I used to say that if you were into trains, you can't be all that bad, now I wonder.[;)]
Dennis

[ChiefEagles]

That little handfull I can handle with one hand and sit and whistle DIXIE at the same time. Probably eat a bowl of grits with the other hand. Sure is strange how they have to drag in folks from the other states. Jimbo Duda, Roy has been helping me hold those Ohio Yanks back while I was eating lunch, dinner and sleeping. You can be a deserter but remember I have lots of fishing buddies [one train buddy near SA, goes to train shop there] in Texas that have a strong dislike for Yankess. They will hunt you down. [;)]

[ChiefEagles]

Next big question?????? Are all of these O & S gauge TOY TRAIN people or other gauge folks??????? Anything other than O & S is default. [:p][}:)] Now folks like Buckeye who has both O and G, he counts. N and HO, No!! S is concidered one of us. I know Yanks, they bend the rules. [:0]

[wrmcclellan]

LOL - this is great!

[ChiefEagles]

This had gone to page 2!!!!! Better revive this. Don't want Ohio to sink in the background. Then no fun whipping up on them. [;)] I hope all these folks will keep on posting and join us at the coffee pot. I think this forum is now passing the "big one" in posts and popularity. [:D]
