Hiram,
We met at North Bay Aikido and trained briefly. I came across your site in search of photos of Glen Kimoto. I had to poke around and really dig the eclipse shots!
Great site, great history, good fun!

Thank you for the resources.
Just popped in as I will be in LeMoore (hopefully) this next month to do some family research. My mother was a Rhoads. Her g grandfather (from Paris, Edgar Co. IL) was Thomas Rhoads' brother. I was in Slough House last year and visited the graves of the Rhoads there. Hope to do the same in LeMoore. Will check out more of your museum. Glad to see your lines and will compare them to mine.

Hello Kelly and Hiram,
I'm a (sixty-year-old) friend of Zane Crawford. Your photo caught my eye, read a bit, decided to visit your wedding, then got lost in your photos of wedding and sweet baby; thoroughly enjoyed myself, now back to work.

Dear cousin Hiram;
Your sister Carol sent me your web address. It looks great. You and I are
related through your grandfather JL Mercer - who we called "Uncle Jack" in
Rosedale, B. C., where my mother was born. We met Carol & Tom this past
week at another cousin here in Langley. She will no doubt fill you in.
I have been "doing genealogy" for about 30 years, on and off. Perhaps we
will be able to chare information.

Hey Hiram, I have not spoken to you in so long. Last time I saw you
was in Greensboro, NC. You came throught to photograph an eclipse. It
was such an interesting visit, I still talk of it today. That was
around 94'. You shared tales of your trip through Africa I believe.
It's a great web site. Cool stuff. Come to the east for a visit, or
better yet I'm sure you heard we may all be moving to Arizona.
Maybe we'll see you then. Love Cathy (Married with 3 children, 20, 17, 14)

You have a very interesting web site. It brings back
memories. I left the Stratford area in 1967, but I recall
being involved with an antenna project of yours sometime
before then. Gov Riggs came by my shop and said to bring
an A frame hoist over to Hi Clawsons.There was a tower
laying on the ground and the idea was to get it upright.
I won't go into all the details. I,m sure your recollection
of the event is better than mine.:-)

your life. You've really done a lot and traveled so much! I envy you.
My husband and I are getting ready to take our 20th anniversary trip and
I was searching Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais in Paris to see if I could get
a picture of it. We'd like to stay there when we go. I notice you stayed
there recently. Did you like it?

Great shot of the Andromeda Galaxy. Enjoyed the photos immensely. I am
an amateur stargazer and have spent a little time studying the cosmos.
National Geographic had a recent article with a map of the Milky Way and
the universe as we know it. Maybe you have seen it. These would have been
great along with it.

the eclipse 99 too, from a place near Rouen in France and it's fab being
reminded of it. It's a shame not everyone has seen an eclipse and experienced
what a wonderful thing it is.

Hi Hi, I love to say that. So Hi & Kelly I,m looking at your wedding
pictures and was so sorry I coouldn't come out. But I figured a trip that
long for just 2 days was a little much. I didn't know Shannon was going to
be there. I haven,t seen her since my kids were teenagers. Looks like you
had a perfect day for your wedding. CA & TR are here for a 1 day visit.
They,re the only family we see much of. They come through a couple times a
year. I,m going to look at your eclipse pictures now.
Love, Mary Jame, you,re favorite aunt.

Hi Uncle Hiram and AUNT Kelly,
We loved everything about your wedding...the ceremony..the flowers...the
food...the vocalist...the guests...and you two of course. The trip up to
your place and back in a day wasn't bad at all. It was nice for Greg and I
to have some "alone" time to just talk about "stuff." You'll see how hard
it is to find time for each other when you have a baby. Thanks for including
us in your special day. Kelly--Your friend Greg is the greatest! I had the
best time talking with him. When I told him that I had told you how cute I
thought he was, he said he was embarrassed but very flattered by the
compliment. You will have to tell him what I said this time and embarrass
him again. Hope to see you both soon. Watch your mailbox or look for
the UPS person to bring you a nuptual goodie. Love to you both--Shawn
