Greetings from Ohio!

----- The photo above to the right is Bill Garrity circa 2003 --------

Maitre de blog received the following message:

This is a great sight.Let me dig through my A&P shopping cart and see if I can find something interesting. Ohio* is almost as far away as Singapore; Isn't it?

Bill Garrity

He then proceeded to overload my computer with his Baltimore Catechism and and old math test that he is still working on. Apparently he is stuck on the question: Write the number seventeen million eight hundred thousand and two in Roman numerals. Sorry I can't help you as I never paid attention in my Latin class. I only remember a few phrases such as "tuis pugis pignore" ** and "cum catapultae proscriptive erunt, tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt."***

I did find a Roman numeral convertor on the internet: Here is the link: Roman Numeral Convertor.

I can say for certain that if Bill thinks Ohio* is almost as far away as Singapore, he should request a GPS device for Christmas.

Here is his Catechism for those of you with good eyesight (or be like me and click on the picture):

It was great to hear from Bill. I hope he passes on this blogsite address to others.

Remember to send in any email addresses that you have. Many that were given in 2003 are obsolete already.

Thanks Bill for the photo, the copies of your state seal, your catechism and the unfinished math test.

* "Hang On Sloopy" is the official state rock song of Ohio.

** "You bet your bippy."

***When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults."
