back to rickii's question about the generator. The generator is located on the outside of the SW corner of the indoor practice facility. In the drawings, there are no dimensions, but the generator is at least as long as the adjacent roadway is wide. The water main into the :LAC is eight inches in diameter, and the natural gas line is also eight inches in diameter.

I understand it goes back to Adam and Eve and wide enough to show that all Crossporters are related to one another, though probably 150th cousins twice removed.

I would love to see your entire family tree I have all the names, hoops, but I have been working on trying to develop the historical parallels for why certain of the old timers achieved the positions that they did. For example, the Dux had two sons, one was Flavius Richomeres, in my line, and the other was named Flavius Bauto. Both sons became consuls of Rome, and both were also magisters militium (theater commanders of the Roman Army, e.g.,an Eisenhower in the current-day). Bauto's daughter becomes empress of the Eastern Empire (Constantinople). So in the space of three generations, how does one family go from leading a tribe of Franks living in Flanders (basically near the Belgian-Dutch border) circa 360CE to empress of the Empire in 395CE ? ___________________________ I'll add by way of some explanation that this tribe of Franks subsumed another Germanic tribe, the Batavii, who lived in Batavia (between branches of the Rhine in current day Holland). The Batavii served as auxiliaries to J. Caesar. The Romans were supposedly impressed the the Batavii cavalry could ford rivers in formation.

Quite a jump But it looks as if any family could do it, it would be you distinguished line One secret, pick your emperors carefully. Benefited from allying with Julian, and even more so with Theodosius I later. In England, after the Anarchy, allied with the Plantagenets for centuries, and were allied with them during the War of the Roses. Being on the losing side of the War or Roses meant downfall and ultimately, obscurity.

I was able to trace my son in law's family only to the Battle of Agincourt

Remember "trots" in high school Latin class? Caesar's Gallic Wars? Forgive my namedropping, but one of my distant ancestors, appointed as Dux (military governor) of Dacia Ripensis (Roman province along the Danube in current day Bulgaria) had several legions under his command, including Legio XIII, the Gemini, the legion that crossed the Rubicon with J. Caeser. He was appointed Dux by Julian (the Apostate). PP- The mantle of greatness must be a heavy burden. Yet you shoulder it with humility, never flaunting it. We thank you. Greatness walks among us.

I was able to trace my son in law's family only to the Battle of Agincourt The Earl of Westmoreland is family, but not my direct line. My line was long in Wexfoird by then, ensuring that the Gaels minded their 'p's and 'q's. And Westmoreland was at Agincourt only in Shakespeare's mind. Westmoreland was of great help to Henry IV in becoming king after the abdication of Richard II.

NAD and td128 at our future fball game at BC:
NAD: Oh, that we now had here but one thousand more of those men on Mt. St. James that do no work to-day!
td128: What's he that wishes so? My cousin, NAD? No, my fair cousin; If we are mark'd to lose, we are to do our college’s loss; and if to win, the fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for trophies, nor care I who doth gloat upon my loss; it yearns me not if the Eagles my purple banners steal; such outward things dwell not in my desires. But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my cuz, wish not one more man from the Hill of Pleasant Springs. God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour as one man more methinks would share with me the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, NAD, through my fellow Crusaders, that he which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart; his bus ticket back to Worcester shall be made, and money for the trip put into his wallet; We would not lose in that man's company that fears his fellowship to lose with us. This day is call'd the feast of The Holy Cross. He that triumphs this day, and comes back to Worcester, will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, and rouse him at the name Crusader. He that shall win this day, and see old age, will yearly on the day before this feast gather his neighbours, and say "To-morrow is the Crusaders’ Day." Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, and say "These wounds I had on Crusaders’ day." Old men forget; yet though all shall be forgot, he'll remember what feats he did that day. Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words— NAD, HCHoops and rgs, ncaam and sader1970, KY and Pakachoag Phreek— be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. This story shall the good man teach his son; and Crusaders’ Day shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that cheers on the Crusaders with me shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen on Mt. St. James now a-bed shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that cheered with us upon Crusaders’ Day.

Yeah, I passed the Latin NY State regents exam and was an altar boy for 3 or 4 years when Mass was still said in Latin. And so sorry you had the "trots." Feeling better now?

I have no reason to doubt you because, as you know, I went to a fine Franciscan high school, and therefore never took the Jesuit exam.

A trot was a book showing the Latin and English translation side by side. So you could use it to cheat on translation tests or homework. They were verboten.

Everyone seemed to have one except me (and it was not for trying to find one). I also remember Brother Lawrence standing us at the board to translate a sentence and getting hit with on the butt with a neolite strap whenever we made an error. It was strong motivation. I still got the lowest grade in the class on the Irish Christian Brothers latin exam...89.
