Conversation Between transplanted and bladebowie

Hi... just saw this... I am replying for my first time so I hope I am doing it correctly. Yes and no... grew up in Alexandria... my 12th great-grandfather settled Bowie, MD. My dad's middle name is Calvert after the county. I never spent any time there, always in Northern VA!

BladeBowie - curious if you're from Bowie, MD. I grew up there and that is the reverse of the local newspaper, so wondering if that's where it came from.
