Hi Manna!

[SAMWolf]

Not a lot of big controversies during Ike's administration. Korea was winding down and Vietnam hadn't heated up yet.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Army EOD. Good answer.

[SAMWolf]

I knew that LOL! I was wondering who's ranked better.

[SAMWolf]

He had to have the patience of a saint to have to deal with the personalities in WWII. DeGualle, Monty, Leclerc, Patton, Roosevelt, Churchill, the Russians. I think most people would have cracked under the strain of dealing with all those different personalities and getting them to "play together nice".

[U S Army EOD]

Hmmm. When you think about it, maybe he was a saint that was put here to rise to the occassion when mankind was going through one of its worse of times.

[E.G.C.]

I imagine OU because they've won their gmes by so big of a margin. We'll see how it all come out.

BTW OSU and K-State is also on T.V.(Fox Sports)

You are right then, that would make sense out of why we don't hear a lot about him. Thanks.

[aomagrat]

You been trying to go through the entire "White Fleet"?

I intend to go from BB-1 to BB-71.

You had goldfish named Ike and Mamie, shows you were on the right track early!

Or a really weird kid. I had a dog named Senator Barry Goldwater too. I even wrote the real Goldwater about naming my dog that. LOL. Mom still has the form letter he (his staff) sent back. No mention of the dog. Best beagle you ever saw, a golden yellow color. He loved to go down the slide at the local park. Dad did not believe he did that, so he followed us to the park one day and watched. Dad took him fishing one time. Dad caught this huge bass, but was having trouble reeling it in. Senator jumped in the pond and herded that fish right to Dad. Dad swore it happened. I wasn't there, but Dad had the fish and the dog was soaking wet. :^)

[Samwise]

I don't think you killed those goldfish.

I hope not. You have relievd some of my guilt.

[SAMWolf]

Once again the right man at the right place at the right time. Not many could have done as good a job as Eisenhower.

[SAMWolf]

Well good luck to your team.

[SAMWolf]

Ok. Sounds good to me, should be interesting to see now they changed over time.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Matthew, I always grew up pronouncing the "l". Learned somethiong new today.

[SAMWolf]

That's right, only no one here can pronounce Mroz correctly I hear about 4 or 5 versions, everything except the right one.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. What did you call the dog for short? Barry?

[Samwise]

Senator for short. :^)
