I love JESUS! I'm a 7th-generation Florida native, dyed-in-the-wool Southron belle. I just recently dusted off my genealogy notes and, thanks to a long-lost relative, nearly doubled the details. We started home schooling when only 'outlaws' did it and still enjoy a daily quest for knowledge. These days, the family spends a lot of time birding, butterflying, spending as much time in 'the woods' as possible while they're still here.
Interesting. After moving near the "graveyard of the Atlantic" hear near the Outer Banks, I've really acquired a hunger for knowledge about ship wrecks. I recently read a book about the Life Saving Service that tried to save shipwreck survivors along the coasts from the northeast to Texas. It later became the Coast Guard.
Shipwrecks have always stirred my imagination...I wonder how many wrecks there are off the coast of Florida. Probably more than anyone even knows about.
