SWAMPQUEEN~REINE DES BAYOUS La VIE C'EST BON! You have to dance like
nobody's watchin'
And Love like it's never gonn'a hurt. You! yoU Live All Your Life, All
Your Life Long!
AND
When you reach the end of your rope you will find the hem of His
garment.

Those were terrible times. And French Acadaians weren't the only ones
to suffer British brutality then. Many, many people of Scottish
descent, especially in the south, suffered similar afflictions. These
were tennants on lands in Scotland, who were driven out simply because
the English landowners were changing the land use from cattle and
sheep raising to cash crops. They were literlly "burned out"; hence
the expression, "fired", when losing one's occupation.
They were considerd to be so vile that they would sleep outdoors in
church yards, and not enter, though bidden, because they were told
that they were "cursed".
Eventually, they were shipped over to the Americas and Austarila.
I don't wish to pre-empt the Acadian nature of this group, but I do
want to offer a perspective here. French, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and
Cornish people are all of celtic stock, and have traditionally been
oppressed by the Anglo Saxons.

I like that picture of you with salt and pepper hair Fits your
personality.
That pic of your son remnides me of a guy I went to school with, last
name Ragan. Not sure, but believe he is of Cajun extraction.
My dad had coal-black hair, and was of Welsh extraction. My momma had
blonde hair, and was of Scottish and French extraction. I believe the
French side was Cajun....Padgett. Her mother, a Padgett, had very
blonde hair, with olive complexion: she tanned very well. (I take
after my Dad: His mother had red hair and no complexion, and I got
it. My dad was swarthy, in the way Welshmen are. (But I had blonde
hair, with red complexion: I can get sunburn from a bright idea.) I
think you told me one time that you were kin to the Bass family. I
know some Bass's here, but not sure if the originated up your way or
not.
I recall you and I talking about this a few years back.
Cold here in Flalaland. Gonna be 36 tonight.
Bout time for me to have a sammitch. Catcha later.

">French, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and Cornish people are all of

Saxons."

it is useless to point a finger at the Anglo's, maybe people should
let go of all the garbaged history and concentrate on what is occuring
today and what is to occur tomorrow ..... such as the means at which
Cajuns to this day oppress one another ..... and noone is responsible
for those acts except ourselves
