Inside the handmade, cloth book cover is a letter to Capt. Joe Trader dated 1907, asking for Pearl's hand in marriage. A Howard Fleck(?) of Irvington, Va. The letter is a copy I made and now, in my dotage, I can't find the original. Might list the works on ebay.Ken MacLeodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-21909260511131006842011-10-18T01:15:54.977-04:002011-10-18T01:15:54.977-04:00@ Daryl--the lake in NJ is named Hopatcong (easy t...@ Daryl--the lake in NJ is named Hopatcong (easy to spell, huh?) and I only know this because I spent my early childhood in Morris County...<br />ooops,maria already made that point<br />Dear CBW--you may want to be nicer to Trader Joe', because they have a lot of frozen Thai specialties (which help in a pinch when craving the real thing)but then again...they are not a union store, and are tolerable only in college areas where students find temporary employment.(My son is a produce clerk in a small unionized market, and he even shops at TJ's because we live near Stanford U.)<br />If I had goats, I would not let them wander willy-nilly in Mathews, nor anyplace.

Maybe I'm just dyslexic, who knows. We'll practice saying Red Art the next time you're in the 'Ville.<br /><br />Daryl-The guy Captain Trader evidently decided to name the post office for that area Redart because there was already a Traders post office in the county, so he had to come up with Plan B. When in doubt, just reverse it, I guess.<br /><br />Thomas-I'll bet there's a great story just waiting to be told about about Revloc and Colver, it might take a little sleuthing is all.<br /><br />dgh-I work not terribly far from that Trader Joe's - it's also close to Eastern State where my son occasionally has cross country meets. So I do frequent it when I am in the neighborhood. <br /><br />Maria - I've heard of Ho Ho Kus and Hoboken and Ho Ho Ho! (OK, maybe not that last one.)<br /><br />Happy Monday.

Looks like it's time to pull up the crab pots for the season,<br /><br />Even though I love workboats, I love Trader Joe's and Golden Corral more. There's a Trader Joe's and a Golden Corral in Williamsburg If that's closer. I hate going to Newport News. My addage has always been--"If I can't find it in Williamsburg, I don't need it."<br /><br />In WV there's a town called Burnt House. Always wondered how it got it's name, and who's house burned down.Dghawk4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-19131158926771738752011-10-17T12:39:11.754-04:002011-10-17T12:39:11.754-04:00Beautiful workboat or working boat in this case.
