THE VIVRETT LEGACY:
                                   OUR STORY IN AMERICA  *All Various Spellings

                            It is a people story
                            It is an American story
                            It is our story.

                            It's the story of pain and despair,
                                     compassion and prayer.
                            It is a story of simple pleasures
                                    and people treasures.

                            It's the story of the longago people;
                                    our people,

                            It is a story of slavery and shame
                                    repentence and restoration.

                            It's the story of our family tragedy
                                    of blood letting foolishness;
                                    tribal feuding with deadly intent.

                            It is the story of officers
                                   and infantry men
                                   and blood against blood.

                            We lost our humility
                                   and paid a terrible price!

                            It's a story of strong, courageous women
                                   and lean, hard men with dreams,
                                   and towheaded kids just along for the ride.

                            It is THE story of a one-legged carpenter
                                  a blacksmith or two,
                                  a priest or two

                           With Huguenots like Washington- all the way back.
                                   - teachers and preachers
                                   - nurses and pharmacists
                                   - machinists and millers
                                   - lawyers and miners
                                   - shopkeepers and clerks
