@SurfCity_Mayor@localsweety No. They went to Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville FL. With my mom and one of my uncles. Named band after the gym teacher they all didn’t like, Mr. Skinner
@ScottPresler Unfortunately that’s not what i experienced today. I live in a very small town and had no idea this was happening until I got stuck downtown in a massive, loud, obnoxious rally full of people definitely not from here. And a lot of them.
@LouisBerryNovel Fascinating. And I think you sum it up as to why I did not know this- people did not talk about these things ‘back then’ and truth be told, our family was particularly good at this. Greetings to your wife. I will have to be sure to pay my respects when I am next graveside.
@LouisBerryNovel So then we share a g-g grandfather - John’s father Alfred Houston. I am a descendant from John’s brother’s lineage (William Meldrim Surrency)
@LouisBerryNovel I’m curious about your research & decision to write about this story. This is my great-great uncle & aunt. We had a very large family, almost all in Jacksonville. I never heard anything about them, despite many visits with immediate family & their burial in our family plots!
I scroll past a post tonight about a book called ‘The Surrency Affair’ & click, bc my g-grandma, ‘Mamoo’ was a Surrency. WTH? This is my g-g uncle & aunt and no one ever mentioned this story? Years of visiting all these old people in Jacksonville & NO ONE? @LouisBerryNovel
@AbbyJohnson Did you talk at St. Andrew’s, in the TOWN of Clemson, SC, or did you talk at Clemson University, perhaps invited by an independent campus ministry program or student organization? Because it is quite inflammatory to suggest that this was attached Clemson University. Was it?
@SharylAttkisson I notice the ‘of course’ reply to my ‘thank you’ comes from the primarily under 30 crowd. I cannot stand it. Every single time it sounds condescending. The words in and of themselves don’t hold this subtext, so I don’t know why it comes off that way, but it does.
@habib_b@airfrance This is the most horrific air passenger story I have ever heard. I don’t know how you kept so calm. I’m not the suing type but if anything warranted that action it would be this. Especially after their (non)response! I hope you don’t drop this. Wallah!
@mattgaetz You are feeding the beast and SHAME ON YOU. Signed a highly educated Independent voter who fully understands the grounds for the potential overturn, who has cats and has a strong distaste for misogynistic powerful men who can’t see when they are hurting their own base. Do better.
@PPDCommish@PhillyPolice Sooo….’what you’re doing about it’ is getting someone behind a desk to create a trendy infographic poster to tell citizens the onus is on them to prevent getting carjacked. I left the city I loved when I did in part bc of you 3. Perfect timing.
