The Gillis Clan Directory and Family Tree
seems to be going well after only two weeks.
I got an input from Dorcas this weekend and
will send an update out this week. I've tried to
post previously and was unable so this is really a test. Greg has a great start on the
Family tree from MoMo on down and Mike
White is sending the copy of the tree up from
there. So, we should have some good ideas
of origins and where we have arrived in 2009.

I just talked to Greg for the first time in our
lives this morning. Long lost 2nd cousins.
Talked to Jim his father and Peggy his mother over the last two days, its been since around
1960 or so for that. I m putting together a Gillis
Clan Directory, and with Greg s help a
Clan Web Site. I told Greg I like the model
he has created here, and I am going to introduce my Grand Daughter to some of
her cousins via this site later this month.

I m currently residing in NC working for Boeing
teaching kids how to bend, break and kill things with the F15E Strike Eagle. I mark 21
years doing this as a civilian instructor next week. I taught our Air Force aviators now in the F4 Phantom, the Flll Aardvark and now the
F15E. My part for fighting the War on Terror.

I spent 20 years flying the F4 in the Air Force and Air National Guard. I had 200 combat missions in Viet Nam and totaled 2500 flight
hours in the F4.

I m a flyfisherman, traditional archer, wood-carver, and would be novelist. I ll be retiring
next year and moving back to Texas. I graduated from Aggieland Class of '67, so
I do add to the aggravation of the numerous
TU or is that UT graduates within the Clan.
It is a good thing there are a few Aggies in
Gillis Tartan.

Cheers, Buzz

Thanks to Kim, Matt, Nick and Mike for the great time over the Fourth of July !

Why are we even bothering to hold an election?

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer running against a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking woman with big boobs who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there even a contest here America?

 I heard a sound bite on the radio today of Hillary on the Bill O'Reilly show. She was explaining that she wanted to tax the oil companies if their profits exceed some baseline amount that she wants set. She is either ignorant or is pandering to the bleeding heart liberals when discussing oil company profits. She demonizes the oil companies by inferring that they are bandits stealing from the gas buying public. Horsehockey.

If the oil companies keep their profit margin exactly the same and have an increase in the production costs due to rising oil prices then the total profit will be increased. This is pretty basic economics. Hell even I understand it. She's a lawyer and she doesn't get it?

See the examples below.

If I am just buying and reselling 1,000,000 gallons of gas at a 10% profit margin and the wholesale price increases from $2.00 to $3.00 a gallon then my overall profit also increases.

I did some deer hunting last week with my dad. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Wow!

I have been married to Linda for 20 years. It seems like only yesterday...

She surprised me the weekend before we took vacation. She was leaving to run some errands while I was cutting the yard. A few minutes after she left she pulled back in the driveway and said for me to hurry up and get in. I thought something must be wrong until she started her little whisper laugh "he he he he" over and over. A minute later we pulled up to the marquee in the front of our subdivision and there it was...
