I've been impressed by the groundswell of folks PM'ing me to change their username from a "handle" to their actual name. I LIKE IT!
Thanks to those of you who are doing it. Please, shoot me a PM after you get logged back in under the new username to confirm that it all worked right, your password still works, etc.
Daniel, did you know that in 1671, a French guy named Père Claude-Jean Allouez stepped out of a canoe at the bottom of a rapids on the fox river and sunk to the bottom?
Which roughly translated, means "It's really deep here!"....
Hence the name Depere, WI. OK, maybe not. But what in the heck is that goofy shape on the Kaukauna water tower? Is that supposed to be some kind of ghost? It looks like a kids' cartoon character!
You are in a cool part of the world. Even if you are stuck in Packers territory.
the story I always tell is that it was an Indian that fell out of a canoe.
and yes, that is suppose to be a ghost but that town stinks, literally and figuratively. another saying we have around here is "When the wind blows, your nose knows you're in Kaukauna!"
btw: Go Dolphins!! (they can stop sucking any year now though)
(and Yes, we MAY be related) I sent a little family history regarding my great great grandfather, CV Atkinson and his father and their role in the American Civil War.
