In a final ironic twist, one of the wooden grandstands set up for Londoners to watch Lovat’s execution collapsed resulting in several deaths before Lovat himself went to the gallows.
Here's the Wm. Hogarth etching (that hangs in my hall) of the head of the Fraser clan of Scotland...pretender to the crown...
Now that’s cool.
Yep, there are a lot of jobs for all ages — but one just has to look.
Thanks for the feedback.
Sad history.
Our company is hiring sparingly but it is across the board.
It should be on anyone’s list as far as persistence goes.

“L.A. officials clear the way for LAPD to hire more DNA analysts”
By Joel Rubin

Bump.
As I said upthread, a huge part of genealogy is learning about the great scoundrels in one's blood (and believe me...there are plenty to go around).
Seems folks are much more interested in the great stories of the bloodlines than just the noble veins (and there isn't a mutually exclusive quality to scoundrels and nobility, is there).
People love stories...and when such stories involve their own family, all the better.
That's why I think there is a great opportunity for Freepers to make a decent living doing a little archaeological digging into the past.
It's kinda like being the National Enquirer of genealogy!
Ping!
I’ve been trying to get back into Funeral Service for a while, but it’s been more difficult than I anticipated. The business has changed a lot, going from mom-and-pop operations to big ol’ corporate entities.
Not at all. They did what they thought was right.
All our history contains stories of great sadness and great victory. The key is to understand that the past is not a prison.
You and I (and all freepers) are those who have been handed the baton. We are running the relay for those who have produced us.
Are we in the last lap...I certainly don't know.
But this is our lap, and we must run it to the best of our ability.
Are our relatives scoundrels? Probably no more than we are scoundrels (if we consider the opportunities we have had that they never had).
I think it is wrong to judge our ancestors...but it is right to place that judgment on ourselves.
We can right their wrongs...if only by doing the best we can do.
I might be wrong...but I don't believe in sadness or pity.
I don't want pity!
IMO, feeling sorry for someone robs them of the power to fight on until death.
We are all running a race. Don't feel sorry for me if I am last...I should only judge myself and even then I should compare myself to no one else. No one else is comparable to me or you. We are uniquely ourselves and our fight is uniquely our own.
Therefore, do not pity me and I will not pity you (or our ancestors). Let's each go forth into battle...into our own personal battle.
Victory or death!!!
There is a big difference between pity and compassion.

A chasm!
I don't want their compassion to make me weak!
Yes, I have been in the fire a few times and it takes its toll. I understand the flames of this furnace as our government makes it harder and harder for free-enterprise to work here.
Compassion doesn’t make one weak. It is a knowledge that the persecuted are understood by their suffering.
This government seems to hate its citizens. It certainly hates free enterprise.
Ping
I have suffered (as you have) and the knowledge that my suffering was understood by others did nothing to alleviate the suffering.
Suffering is the battle front. Only those on the front lines can know.
Compassion is nothing more than a nice letter from home...
That said, I do appreciate your point of view in the discussion of this incredibly poignant matter.
