		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I was watching &#34;Beach Party&#34; (American International &#8211; 1963) in which Annette Funicello sang &#34;Treat Him Nicely&#34;. I thought this song sounded familiar and I then I recalled this song sounded very much like a song by The Duprees, &#34;Have You Heard&#34;, which was recorded the same year. Two different songs recorded in the [...]]]></description>

I collected snapshots of satellite pictures of the places that I resided and schools that I attended as kid. Six years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago a correspondent in Belgium sent me an image of a map of Ronse, Belgium made in the mid-18th century. He wrote that the structure depicted in the lower center of the map was of a windmill owned by my ancestor (ggggg-grandfather) Judocus (Joos) De Backer (1723 &#8211; 1797) and that the [...]]]></description>
