Note on the cartoon: There is an itty-bitty story behind this little cartoon.  I didn't just get it from anywhere. In fact I've been saving it for YEARS!!  I started on my genealogical journey when I was around 16 years old or so.  When ever the mini-series Roots hit commercial TV.  Let's just say I got  into it around 1978 or 79.  My grandma and grandpa gave this cartoon to me way back then.  If you look at the image really good you will see where they (probably grandma) cut the female head off of one cartoon and pasted it on to one of the characters here.  She is me I suppose.  It was one of the many things that my grandparents were able to find humor in. I can just imagine the little giggle they got out of this.  One could say it is plain, or even simple but wouldn't it be nice if we all could learn to take pleasure from such simple things in life.  My many thanks to everyone who has ever helped me along in this life.  And many thanks to the memories of my grandparents: Earl Otho Coop and Hazel Lorine VanZandt-Coop.  Lord knows, I miss them more than anyone who has passed on during my life.
