Congratulations President Donald TRUMP.  Make America Great again.

Vern Larson (1960)

Well said Doyle!

My dear friends and classmates.  We live in the greatest country in the world and many have fought, defended, and died for us and this great country. Now that Trump has officially won the presidency, I pray that he will seek Gods help and be inspired to bring this country together as a united people in the United States of America and make this country great again. It will take us all working together. May God bless us all, and God bless America!

When are all the celebreties and Al Sharpton going to move out of the United States?

Ron Blickle (1963)

I just noticed that there have been more than 4000 posts on this website.  Anyone want to take a guess at how many have been Craig's?  My guess would be close to 2500.  What do you all think?  Does our webmaster have the ability to provide that number?  It would make a fun contest!

Kathy Thornsberry (Ellinghouse) (1968)

Thanks to all Veterans!!!  Thank you too, Joel.  I'm very sorry for all who have lost their family members.  It leaves a big "hole in one's heart".  My dad, who will be 90 in January,  had a great time today at the Veteran events....wearing his WWII hat too.  And Monte, Marty Carrion has volunteered to drive all those wanting to permanently leave this country.... to the airport.

Dr. Alveda King's Post-Election, Holiday Message 

Wednesday, November 23, 2016

Dr. Alveda King:

America has elected a new president, Mr. Donald Trump. He needs our prayers, not our vitriol. The fussing and fuming is hurting our fragile relationships in our homes, our churches and in the marketplace.

Throughout the 2016 debates and elections, many, including "yours truly" have reminded America that with prayer, we can do as my Uncle MLK often said: "We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] or perish as fools." Let's do what Dr. Martin Luther King suggests so we don't "Perish as fools!"

"Stay on good terms with each other, held together by [Agape] love." Hebrews 13:1 (MSG)

The 2016 Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are at our doors. Yet, so many Americans are still reeling with post-election shock. Throughout the 2016 debates and elections, many, including "yours truly" have reminded America that with prayer, we can do as my Uncle MLK often said: "We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] or perish as fools."

My Uncle MLK, Daddy Rev. A. D. King and Grandfather Daddy King often taught from Acts 17:26: "Of one blood, God made the human family to live together on the earth."

So we are not separate races, from womb to tomb, we are one blood, designed by our Creator to live together on the earth.

From the onset of my publicly acknowledged support for the 2016 candidacy of first, Dr. Ben Carson, and then Mr. Donald Trump, I have received so much angst that if it hadn't been for God's mercy and forgiveness in my heart, for myself and for my loved ones—friends, family, church members and others—I would have fallen into sin by either striking back at those who don't agree with me or at least trying to defend my position.

With Proverbs 3:5 and 1 Timothy 2:2—we Americans must trust God and not the human candidates to rescue America from this present state of disharmony. People still continued to flay each other with words, and in some cases as with the violent protesters, with physical acts of anger.

Yet God continues to shine through our 2 Chronicles 7:14 prayers, and we must continue to pray and trust that even in the midst of the Book of Revelation Days, God has not abandoned us. (Photo: King Family Legacy/Thanksgiving 1963)

In closing, during this 2016 winter holiday season, let those of us who will, agree that for Thanksgiving, we will carve the turkey and not each other with our words.

Then in repentance and Agape Love, for Christmas, let us celebrate the birth and Gospel of Jesus Christ—the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

                                             The King Family

Dan Ree (Ree) (1964)

Great Post ROBERT....has a lot of meaning and thought to live by..........Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family..........

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Remember when the Turkey came in a box, and that box was so cool, you kept it around for many years and used it to store things in, check out the phone number and remember how long ago it was "Before MOhawk"

Happy thanksgiving

Dan Ree (Ree) (1964)

Remember that box and Phone # well..........Days of Simple and Happier ones....Why Cann't it come back...Too Much Now and complex.....but we enjoyed the best back then and those of today see this and think...You 'GUYS' had it much better...WE DID !

Mike Miller (1966)

Thanks Greg. Good ol' Branigans. I remember picking out the turkey. What good memories.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Branigan Turkeys the very best!!!   Dad would take orders for the teachers in Grass Valley and would deliver them when we would drive up the hill to Grass Valley for Thanksgiving and Christmas with Mary.  Great memories around those turkeys!!! 

Happy after Thanksgiving and now on into the Christmas Season! 

Joel Childers (1966)

When I was a toddler, the number on our phone was 168. Then suddenly came 2-7168 but prefixes and area codes were still the domain of real live operators (who, like airline stewardesses, for some reason were all women!) Then came MO-hawk because 662-7168 was just too much to remember. Then came the miracle of direct long distance dialing with 916-662-7168...WOW...so many numbers to remember. Can't recall the actual years these changes took place. Yeah, I know that you all know this. Just brushing off a bit of nostalgia. Now we have 3 phones in the house with 10 numbers each and here is what gets me boiling. Every time I go into the barber shop, the gal is standing behind a computer and asks, "Phone number?" And I have to remember the dang thing. Apparently she can't cut my hair without knowing my phone number. I guess it would be too much to simply greet each other with our first names. Nope. Identify yourself by a 10 digit number or go away. And this happens everywhere...buying new tires...same thing..."What's your phone number?" What if I said, "None of your business!" I guess I don't get new tires. TODAY'S TRIVIA QUESTION: When was the last time you called "TIME" on your phone. Wow, who does that anymore? I found out it's still available from the US Naval Observatory at 1-202-762-1401.

Kathryn Jull (1961)

Craig - while you are entilted to your opinion -  but NOT on this web site - to discuss politics. 

Robert Cowing (1965)

Amazing memory Joel ! . . . "when I was a todler . . "  All I remember was the big old black phone with "Mohawk" and then later 662 etc.

We had a small door midway up the wall next to the front door on the left with a phone inside, tall with a dial on the bottom with an ear piece that hung on the phone which you put up to your ear and dialed while you spoke into the horn shaped moth peice attached to the phone.  That last one of these "old timers" that I new that still worked was on the Rumsey Canyon road at an old repair shop on the east side of the road a short distance past the Forestry Service Headquaterrs and fire station.

Your Phone Number as a Universal Local Identifier: - I never gave out my real phone number, just give some City of Woodland Government office number that was easy to remember.  It is a marketing gimmic to tag and relate all the data they can collect on you as well as your "consumer habits".  I do the same with my birthday and social security number, except to the banks and government agencies where it is a crime to mislead when filling out their forms.  B.T.W., take a gander at the movie" Snowden" . . . you won't be able to say . . . "I feel better now". Your welcome Joel !

Kathryn, Ok . . . you don't enjoy "political discussion", "pollitlcal opinions", "politcal comments" and they "annoy" you. BUT . . . there is no prohibition against "politics etc." for this web site.People who post "political opinons" are exercising their Constitutional Right of Freedom of Speech. 

PLEASE FIRST relay your feelings to the offending party via a "private message" and if no constructive result/resolution, then tell Gary Wegener, web site master.

Thank you, Robert Cowing
