Subject: Sending ecards and other things 1. There are many systems on the internet to use in sending electronic cards as email. Two of the nicest and easiest systems are bluemountainart and 123greetings. Just open either one and send an email card today. 123greetings will send music too. 2. I's receiving company about a week from Thanksgiving so I am in the process of cleaning up my home. I had the carpet shampooed yesterday in the living room and dining room so now I am getting the furniture back in place. 3. Thanksgiving means to me the Macy parade and one or two thanksgiving dinners with mince pie. 4. That's about it for today. I guess I will go to the Library on Wednesday instead of Thursday at 11:00 am o'clock. 5. My Uncle Adolph's 30 by 40 inch oil painting of, "1779 Gallant Charge of Count Pulaski" is shown next...Matt

There is supposed to be another story about Adolph's four Mural walls in The Union Leader today 20 Nov so look for it under "Today's Columns" if it is not the main story. Remeber it will be gone on Tuesday...Matt **************************************************************** John Clayton: Three things to chew on before Thanksgiving By JOHN CLAYTON In the City The Monday before Thanksgiving? That makes this a three-day work week for most folks, so here are three items � think of it as one per day � to tide you over �til turkey time. THIS WEEK�S burning journalistic query: Is it possible to get scooped retroactively? If it is, it happened. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about four murals that were recently discovered beneath a layer of wallpaper in a house at 75 West Baker St. That house � the long-time home of the Paczosa family � will be turned into a shelter for homeless veterans if Don Duhamel gets his way. On the way toward that end, however, he wanted to know something more about the murals he uncovered, so I started kicking it around. The house was willed to VFW Post 8214 by Annette (Paczosa) Nelson, whose brother, Harold Paczosa, died when the USAT Dorchester � the famed Chaplain Ship � was torpedoed in the North Atlantic on Feb. 3, 1943. Since my old friend Dan Reidy was executor of Annette�s will, I called to see if he could tell me anything about the painter of the murals, a gentleman named Adolph Paczosa. Dan put me on to a relative in Largo, Florida named Matt Pachosa � the spelling of the family name was changed for ease of pronunciation � who gave me some background. If you read the original piece, you may recall that the murals were painted in 1932. One of the murals, dated Jan. 9, 1932, depicted a ship on a storm-tossed sea. Some 11 years later, when Harold Paczosa died at sea, his distraught mother ordered the mural � an eerie reminder of his fate � covered with wallpaper. It stayed that way for 57 years. Don uncovered it a few weeks ago, then Matt Pachosa uncovered more family members and then, the artist�s son � Rick Pachosa of Little Rock, Ark. � uncovered a story about the murals that appeared in The Manchester Leader dated Jan. 22, 1932. That�s how you get scooped retroactively. The unnamed reporter � apparently, they didn�t come equipped with massive egos back in 1932 � interviewed Adolph Paczosa and other family members about the project, which began when he lost his job as a sign painter in Depression-era Maine. �Uncle Edward, it seems, had just built a new house,� the reporter noted. �At the time when Adolph put in his first appearance, he was just about to begin papering the rooms. Knowing his nephew�s talents, he had a sudden inspiration. �Adolph,� he said, �why don�t you paint the walls of your room?�� He did. All of them, and according to the reporter, the most moving of them showed �an angry blue ocean (as it) surges up from the floor, bearing on its topmost crest a great ocean liner.� All in all, it�s a fine account about the painter and his works, although the 1932 story does mention a particularly dramatic piece Don didn�t show me, which would seem to indicate there is a mural depicting �The Gallant Charge of Count Pulaski� still hidden under the wallpaper somewhere in the house. So what does it all mean? It means Adolph�s work was done 68 years ago. Don Duhamel has a lot more to do.

When I was an extra for eight days in the movie, "The Break" I found out that the stars on the picture had their own dressing room with a star on the door and their name also on the door. Well within two days I had my own dressing room with a star and my name on the door. You can see this picture by going to the list of 100 and looking at number 45 picture, I think. When I want to see if "The Break" is playing on TV I go to: http://www.tv-now.com/stars amd then click on "actor" and then click on "Martin Sheen" and it list all the movies and TV that has Martin in it that is on TV for the next month. So my movie "The Break" is not on TV now. I hope it is obvious that you can look up any stars name to see what they are playing in on TV. So go to: http://www.geocities.com/mattbazaar daily to see my daily comments [It's sort of change into a daily dairy]...Matt 7:23 am, Sun 20 Nov 2000

Subject: Did you see the other eight pictures? 1. I sent you one picture and said that there were eight more. Were you able to find the other eight? All you have to do to see them is to change the number one at a time in the url to numbers one through eight in the browser window and hit "Enter". 2. These pictures are stored permanently in a Geocities Directory and you can look at them from now on by following this simple procedure. That's how most everything is stored on the world wide Web or internet. It is in a Uniform Resouces Locator (URL) and is there for you to use. A URL always starts with http://www. and then has a "title" and ends most of the time with a .com. 3. This is set up for the members of the Pachosa family who do not have a home computer. They simply go to their local library and can see all this stored stuff if they have a mind to and so nobody is looking at it because nobody knows about it yet. But we are getting there even if it will take years...Matt Saturday, 7:35 AM 11/18/2000

Subject: Some Odds and Ends 1. Just discovered last night why the counter wasn't working. Geocities changed the url on it so now you have to have: [img src=http://visit.geocities.com/counter.gif] in you web site for it to show you how many people have looked. 2. Received two new email addresses for the Pachosa Family so now have a total of 30. I received three "new" email sites in a christmas card last December and although I send them lots & lots of email messages [none are returned by the system] they have not sent one email back to me. Each to his own. 3. With the counter on this web site I see how many have looked at it daily. With 30 Pachosa's and 20 Click and Draggers there should be at least 50 added to the counter daily, but for some reason there aren't. And I don't know if they just don't care, or are not interested, or don't know how to do it. 4. I received one new email address from the Konick Family so now there is a total of 12 in that list with a few others that could be added when I find out what they are. 5. And the exciting this is to find out Monday, 20 November, what new has been added to the Hew Hampshire newspaper about Adolph's wall murals. Now I have to go find that site again...Matt Friday 6:32 AM 11/17/2000

Subject: A Red Letter Day
1. It is Wed, 5:35 AM 11/15/2000, and I have been awake since
before 5 am so I might as well get up and talk to my computer.
2. I always thought that the subject phrase had to do with the
calender where all the red numbers were the important days like
Sundays and Holidays. But those are numbers not letters so I
wonder now if it doesn't have to do with the red letter "A".
3. Anyway, today, 15 November, is an important day for two reasons:
a. It is the day my 25 year old Uncle Adolph painted the date
on his 30 by 40 inch oil painting of, "1779 Gallant Charge of Count
Pulaski" in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 1931.
b. It is the day I started the "Click and Drag Club" in 1996.
4. So Monday, 20 Nov 2000, we find out a little more about Adolph
and his wall murals. But you can see the Count's Painting by going
to http://www.geocities.com/monicarandy and scrolling down until
you get to it.
5. Today we are having a party for the current members of the CDC
who can attend at 1 pm at CiCi Pizzi on East Bay in Largo, Florida.
Currently we have 15 of the members and their spouses who said they
will be there. Some current members are still up north because they
only come to Florida for the Winter months.
6. Since I started the CDC there have been over 250 people who have
joined and then quit, but we keep picking up new members. I don't
actually know why they quite, but I have come up with about four
possible reasons.
7. So on with our red letter day. You can keep up with what's
happening daily by visiting this site daily:
5:57 AM 11/15/2000
