    I think you are miscounting. Started in 1929 the 27th would have been in 1955. These are sequential events and not anniversaries.

    I wonder if that old owl was the one I used to see mounted on my Grand daddy George Alexander's high boy, at the old house in Mallard Creek. It was huge looking to me but I was just a little kid.... Interesting story and I cherish my Mallard Creek childhood. Lisa
