Next time e-mail me OFF_LIST thanks guys. ______________________________________________ This is a copy of a letter received from a video manufacturer that supplies local Video Stores. Dear Mr. Conner: Let me first apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry about your Grand Father’s brother, Buck / George Connor’s movies. You were given an out-of-date address; the correct one follows at the end of this message. I did some additional research and found a filmography for George. We did not have him listed in our database since the information we receive from suppliers is often very limited, particularly with older titles. I will be adding him to all the titles we list as currently available on video, after a little research I found he has an interesting career in the movie industry, as a stuntman, co-star, and plus his role with Viva in earlier years as a "white reporter". His filmography includes: The Westerner (1940) West of Santa Fe (1939) The Law Rides (1936) Alias John Law (1935) No Man's Land (1935) The Last Round-Up (1934) The Thundering Herd (1934) Desert Vengeance (1931) The Dawn Trail (1930) Trails of Peril (1930) Grit Wins (1929) Hell's Heroes (1929) The Crimson Canyon (1928) The Fearless Rider (1928) The Phantom Flyer (1928) The Mojave Kid (1927) Jaws of Steel (1927) The Fighting Three (1927) The Bronco Buster (1927) Hands Off (1927) Hidden Loot (1925) Biff Bang Buddy (1924) Fighting Fury (1924) The Back Trail (1924) The Duke of Chimney Butte (1921) Action (1921) The Phantom Riders (1918) __________________________________________ Letter goes on - but I belive this will answer your questions, let get back to the correct time period as this list is intended to deal with, late 1700's to 1850.

Yeah, even in England, filer was a profession. I think I read somewhere that it took 13 different artisans to make a fine British shotgun. But in order to take those small pieces home, they had to be cut from bigger pieces somehow. I'm sure every scrap was used if possible to make something. I probably should have paid more attention when I visited the gunsmith shop at Williamsburg years ago. They probably had the answer there and I overlooked it. Maybe Dennis can help......Hawk should be out in the boonies somewhere for his annual meat hunt.

Concho: Buck did answer the question. Also had a long and enjoyable conversation with him this evening--after copying all 66 pages of his personal site. What a bonanza of information. As to the multitude of Names: Born--Paul Waggoner Jones. Named Cutleg within hours of reaching first rendezvous. Cut leg to muscle with a Green River while attempting to saw at a slab of bacon. Slightly better name than Stupid. The doctor who stitched me up the late on the evening of the next day suggested that name was more appropriate. Three namings that weekend. Mudcat, a poet, was so named after being found dead drunk face down in a mud puddle (when we had arrived on Friday evening the camp was a bit under water). One fellow had a ball bounce off a target and hit him in the chest--Iron Chest. Another fellow complained once too often about his back hurting so he was hung upside down to straighten out his spine. A cutting, a shooting, and a hanging all at the same affair! Also had a blue northern blow in and my son, then age four, while cuddled in my lap under a buffalo robe told me that he wished we would never have to go home! God how I loved that moment. Old Blue Hanky--after falling under my horse--didn't check the cinch before remounting--while by myself on a ride into the mountains East of Jackson several summers ago. The horse did a dance on me and my gear. While sitting in that meadow feeling kinda low, I spied a rider on a high trail. To get his attention I waved my blue handkerchief. The next morning, that same rider, a trail ranger, met my companions at the trail head (they had spent the first evening and next day touring Yellowstone) and told them that he had seem me and that I had waved a blue hankie at him. Rick Fisher, one of my companions, after learning that I had not killed the horse--the only important consideration at that, composed a poem about the experience---called "Old Blue Hankie." A sad excuse for a poem and a sadder name. I do not answer to it in public. Pablo, or amongst friends, Pablo the Ever Humble. Just me, a humble unassuming Texican who now is careful with all knives and who always checks his cinch.

My edition does not list pasta, but under paste, the term pasta appears as a reference, in Greek or Roman (I did not note which) to a barley-like soup. Marcaroni is listed in usage as early as 1599, and as a food-stuff. Vermicelli, which also references marcaroni, "a wheaten paste of Italian origin" has a number of interesting references. At random--1669, "Vermechulli shall my Platat please...." 1674, "Vermicelli, wafers, and pie-crust, are all of them diversified meal." 1709, "With Oysters, Egss and Vermicelli, She let Him almost burst his Belly." 1747, from Mrs. Glasse Cookery, "It will run up like little Worms, as Vermicelli does." 1769, from Mrs. Raffald Eng. Housekpr. (1778) "When you make up any kind of soups, particularly portable, vermicelli, or brown gravy soups." Note the reference to "portable" soups. We have discussed the making of this before. It is also referenced for use in a pudding. But my favorite, as it raises, to me, so many questions, is the following: 1767 Ann. Reg.1.92 "the free importation of rice, sago, dust and vermicelli.....from the American colonies." It appears that we were manufacturing this type of pasta for export! Will report more findings when available.
