Nice to see your post jdemaris about your distant grand mother being an Acadian.I love the Acadian Music and culture.I play fiddle myself and often listen to Cajun music.Mary Chapin Carpenter "Down at the Twist and Shout" for instance!Certainly the expulsion of the Acadians from Grand Pre near where I now live was not one of the prouder moments in our Canadian History. I also have a French back ground having discovered our French connection recently.Two summers ago we visited France and met some of our French cousins living in Britany. My Great Great Grand father came from this area in France and was drafted into the navy duing the war and jumped ship so we believe in Newfoundland changed his name from L'Bulloch to Rioux his stepmothers name and lived his life there married and rasied a family of six.He farmed and worked a small lobster canning factory his own business. We found out in France on our visit ,his own brother died not knowing what had happened to his brother,a sad story.He often went to the sea shore and stared across the water wondering what had happened to his beloved brother. We now believe he was too afraid to contact his family should he be caught by the French authortities.We are still contacting new cousins and uncovering the story triggered by a book "The Trail of the French Ancestory" I believe by author Bennett his first name escapes me at this moment coupled with the internet a family contact was made in France by my cousin and now we are learning about each other and our extended French family tree. More to my point,I believe the Brittany area is the same area in France from which the Acadians originally came out from to settle in Nova Scotia.This is indeed an intriging story.Thank you for reading my tractor post. Cheers!

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far.
