PARADISE TRIVIA

I had posted this 7/3/08.  It was pointed out to me this past week so I decided to bring it to the top to see if I could get any more comments about it. 
Don't ask me WHY some things are in black, some in blue and some in red. Some are large print and some are small print. 
The editing of my posts are not my editing.  Millard carves renegade elves and I am thinking that the elves are assisting me.  If so, they are quite frustrating. 
On the editing page everything is black.  Not so when you view it here.

Thank You for all of your comments.
Very neat memories in each of them.

As I have said before, technology puzzles me some times. In fact, it not only puzzles me, but it gets the best of me.
I have tried to get this posting all the same color. I wanted all of the answers below the Nicknames in black. I have edited it, done it again . . . and again. But why the printing is sometimes in blue and sometimes in black, I will never know. And . . . yes - I go to the color chart and have tried to make everything in black, over and over again. No rhyme nor reason, but I have given up on keeping the colors consistent.One thing about it - if I want to look at the edit preview, it is exactly how I wish it were. That is how I set it up.

Millard received an e-mail from Iva Laughlin Byrd before this comment was posted saying . . . ."I have been trying to be able to post a blog, but I am not having any luck. I wanted to enter an answer to 'Who were the Laughlins and where did they live.' I'll try a few more times, then I may just have to email my comments to your wife."

I don't know Iva, but I'm sure when she saw that Norma commented before she did, she was kicking herself.
Oh! Well! Iva, you can add anything you want to. Technology can be a bummer sometimes, can't it?
