We all probably have some rotten branches in our family trees and not for NOTHING. Lots of things shape character but IMHO it is life experiences and individual choices and not DNA, color of skin, birth place nor nationality. Some of us have a lot more choices available to us than others though.

My Stimson branch of the family tree has been here since 1670 or before. They settled in Ipswich, MA. My great uncle, Roberto, claimed we were related to Henry L. Stimson but then again he often told tall stories. Henry L. Stimson was the Secretary of War during WWII. About Henry L. Stimson | Stimson Center My great grandmother's maiden name was Stimson. The mother of my some prevarications telling great Uncle Roberto.

Incidentally, Roberto had a wife in Mexico or somewhere down there and a son. Maybe it was Costa Rica.

I'm tired of arguing and having things I mean twisted so there you go. I may not be the best communicator but try not to be mean spirited, try anyway!

This Forum is about give and take not give and attack. Soon there will be only a few people to kibitz amongst themselves. I love TOTV'S and feel sad about the things that have gone on lately. That's life, whatareyougonnado? Keep on NOTHINGING!
