NO SURE WHY, BUT ITS TEN YEARS OF DOING HISTORY BLOGS, WE BROKE OUR RECORD

Once upon time, my 4th grade history teacher-Earl Bowles had several teacher to student chats, as I had a strong desire to be the clown of the class, and when Robert Painter came by my house 6 years ago, he couldn't understand why I had a cane and hobbling along to get back home. I tried to fumble the words that the Politician's were trying to kill me, as it was after I got the "One shot does it all". I got the Chinese Shot as the 6 County Government held a meeting in Nephi with various government employees saying we had better comply or "Else". I had absolute belief it was a hoax, but after falling down three times while walking up my driveway, and having three brain concussion, I somehow survived, and tried to tell that to Robert, and not really knowing how serious it was with "brain damage", Robert responded as to how I knew he would said "Jones, we have been friends since the 4th Grade, and you have always had brain damage". I tried to laugh, but the only thing that happened was other body noise occurred. Anyway, after the teacher disciplined me, he started to chat about what he was forced to do fighting Nazi's during WW T'wo. From that day on, I have a love for history, and asked my folks if I could save and store the generation's of journals, letters and artifacts going back to Pioneer Days, which included papers belonging to the LDS General Authorities. I buried most of it until I retired ten years ago, then retrieved it and wrote the history. The blog now has 11,104 hits during December, and approaching 1.3 million hits from around the world, but slowing down, as arthritis is not only up and down  my spine, but in my typing fingers, so  slowed. My mother was a Typing Whiz her career, and taught me when I was 12. I fought her at first, saying that is only for girls. She then said, you will have time for the girls, and when you get older, even boys will have to type! She was right, as Mother and Fathers Know Best. And by the way, I took Church Items to LDS HQ, I had to retell the story several times, and finally said I will tell it One More Time, so get your ducks in a row. That is when an Apostle showed up and could see it was the Church Journal for Keeping Tithes in the Northville Church, which when in those days wasn't in cash, but sacks of grain or barley. End of Story.
