Jul 31, 2012 - Traveled to Ozark, AL

We are traveling for home. It was our first all day rain traveling day. We landed here in this nice Ozark, AL campground as it was a good stopping time so we sort of lucked out. During our trip south we passed through Montgomery, Al and Maxwell Field where my Mom and Dad, Mary Lew and Jack Griffin, were married in April 24, 1943. I wished I would have realized that we were going to travel thru as it would have been fun to stop and visit. Something to look forward to. We also passed through Birmingham, AL where my Niece Gina Linden lives. We...

("David is still tired...

“The March Continues - Monday, November 24 From now on when anyone asks me to name the best experience of this, or any other trip, I will no longer have to equivocate. My automatic response will be, “Montgomery, Alabama”. That’s a strange answer for a Yankee who distrusts the south and could never feel at home here. But that is my answer and it probably always will be. There are days in our lives that shape and define us, and this was such a day for me. Back in 1955 Montgomery, Alabama was defined by a thirteen month Bus Boycott, a...
