Marking the 11th Anniversary of This Blog

This is the 4417th post of this blog which I began in late 2007.  It grew out of my Down Da Road I Go blog when I noticed that so many posts there were about the thing in my life that really motivates me and that is ANYTHING HISTORY.

I have been interested in history ever since my dad took me to Fort Fisher, North Carolina, and had to explain to me why we weren't on the North's side in the war since we lived in North Carolina and North America, which I had learned as a member of the second grade class in Raleigh.

That launched me on what became my employment for 33 years as a social studies teacher, and, of course, all seven of these blogs.

Got To get a Life.  --Cooter  (Cooter because that is not a real serious history thing.  I took the name from that guy on the "Dukes of Hazzard.")

Here Comes a New Blog

Starting tomorrow, all World War II entries will be on the new blog at http://tattooedonyoursoul--aworldwariiblog.blogspot.com.

This one will not have as many entries and will cover all things to do with history other than World War II and the Civil War (two blogs).

I have actually learned a lot about how to set up my blogs this last week.

Like those folks at the bar in the picture, we will be joining friends at Donovan's Reef later tonight to toast in the New Year, listen to some music, and play some NTN.

A Happy New Years to You!! --DaCoot

Pearl Harbor Stories to Continue January 1st

I have more stories from Pearl Harbor's 70th anniversary, but will continue blogging them at the beginning of next year when I plan to launch a blog entirely devoted to World War II.

Right now, I am thinking of calling it "Tattooed On Your Soul," a quote I took from an entry earlier this month, December 8th, about Frank Curre and his Pearl Harbor memories.

Cooter's History Thing will then become one concerning any items I find of interest from any era of history. I imagine there will be 2-3 entries a week.
