"He can run, but he can't hide." My great uncle coined that phrase
To the stupid Freeper on FR who misspelled his name: It was Joe Louis Barrow.



I don't appreciate *'s use of it.

Let's say I'm still fuming.

That phase showed the typical wit that still runs rampant in my family.

Hearing it coming from Shruby's lips dimishes it

He run a tape of quick cuts of Louis flooring one guy after another while he made wisecracks. BAM! "This guy became a priest..." BAM! "This guy never fought again..." BAM! "They're STILL looking for this guy..."

10. Yikes!

Your Uncle Joe looks like he's gonna punch someone!

Oh wait, yeah. LOL!

Cool family and cool pictures.

Very handsome top picture of your great-grandfather--I am assuming those are his kids? Which one are you related to?

Wish I had a scanner, I love old family pics and would love to share mine.

Edited to add: glad you marked out your name on your photos! A lot of people don't even think about that!

11. Susie, his oldest sister is my Grandmother
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 10:58 PM by MrScorpio
Unfortunately, she passed before I was born.
She's on the right.
My aunt Emmarell, who's on the left was very close to me.
She was the closest I had to a Grandma. She passed in '95
