There is a rifle and a black wreath in the tree above William Broderick that I suspect belonged to William Janke, whose remains were dug up and evicted from the Oddfellow cemetery. Someone at Cypress Lawn is going to call me back about the defilement of Carl Janke.
You must study the History of the Franks, also called Francia. Jacob Grimm worked with the naming of the German tribe that became the rulers of France.
John Jankw
The Franks (Latin: Franci or gens Francorum; French: Francs) were a Germanic people[1] who were first mentioned by name in 3rd-century Roman sources, living near the Lower Rhine, on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.[2] Later, Romanized Frankish dynasties based within the collapsing Western Roman Empire became the rulers of the whole region between the rivers Loire and Rhine. They subsequently imposed power over many other post-Roman kingdoms both inside and outside the old empire. Beginning with Charlemagne in 800, Frankish rulers were given recognition by the Catholic Church as successors to the old emperors.[3][4][5]

The name of France directly continues Latin Francia, originally applied to the entire Frankish Empire. Under the reign of the Franks’ Kings Clovis I, Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charlemagne, the country was known as Kingdom of Franks or Francia. At the Treaty of Verdun in 843, the Frankish Empire was divided in three parts : West Francia (Francia Occidentalis), Middle Francia and East Francia (Francia Orientalis).

French Navy Chief Calls For European Navies To Increase Presence And Engagement In Key Waters
European navies may need to provide greater-still at-sea presence in key European waters – and further afield, into the Indian Ocean and beyond – to add mass in these regions to deter security threats if US Navy forces are increasingly focused on operational deployments in the Pacific, the French Navy’s Chief of Naval Staff told a major UK Royal Navy (RN) conference in London.
Grand Marshal Robert Weineke, for all that he had done, was honored by the addition of another badge to the many on his coat. But he was not alone, for the breasts of the President and the group about him on the platform were bespangled and blazing with innumerable medals. It was a marital scene, and it dissolved in true marital manner to the rattle of drums, the unisoned tramp of feet and ringing German cheers.
Then the great crowed scattered and spread over the grounds in a quest of restaurants or quiet places where hampers and lunch baskets might be opened, and also in the quest of that national beverage that made Milwaukee famous
At 1 o’clock sharp the President F. A. Kuhls opened up the great shooting contest by firing three shots into the air. The first shot was “for our adopted country” the second “for the old fatherland” and the third “for the commonwealth of the National Shooting Bund.”
At once followed by a wild scramble for the honor of making the first bull’s-eye, and the hasty firing only eased down when loud cheers proclaimed the lucky individual.

John von John heaved a sigh of relief when Starfish reluctantly obeyed orders to go sit in the car.
“I never saw anyone get so drunk on one beer!” John said.
“There is no history of alcoholism!” Victoria said rubbing her chin with her sleeve, a tell that said she was truly puzzled.
“I think she is faking it. I suspect she has gone off to meet a lover. You know how women are….a lover in every port!”
Victoria was about to take John’s remark under serious consideration. If he had not added “You know how women are” suggesting Miram was a slut. This bit of misogyny would change the course of human history. For indeed Miriam made a beeline for the microfish room at the library of the University of Oregon where a male hand locked the door after she entered.
Now able to carry on a adult conversation, John was able to get at the core of his theory.
“I have uncovered evidence there was a special group of people rescued somewhere on the Russian Swedish border at the beginning of the war. This group may be a cadet branch of the Romanov family, and noble Germans who were invited to settle in Russian by Catherine the great. There is a ancient Viking bloodline in the mix. It looks like another attempt to create a master race. As you know Putin wants to restore Russian nobility and the true orthodoxy. Hitler was hunting for these people in order to install them in the Nazi government in Moscow once Operation Barbarossa was a success.”
“Is that it? Sounds like something you got off the internet. You and your President. Any real leads?”
“Yes. The actor Douglas Fairbanks Junior took part in Operation PQ 17. He and fellow actor, Christopher Lee, appear to have been working the van Rosen family together. Lee was going to marry Henrietta van Rosen. The King of Sweden gave his approval – after offering Fairbanks as a reference. There were investigations going on. ”
“It looks like a double sub-rosa to feel out what the other knows. Did Henrietta spill the beans in a love-making session? You know how women are!”
“Touché!” von John exclaimed. “There is a lead at the Naval station in the old Del Monte Hotel in Monterey. It has been suggested Salvador Dali was secretly smuggling people out of Nazi Germany.
“You’re kidding Dali is one of my heroes. I am a surrealist sculptress.”
“Check out the founders of the WAVES. They say have been processing these people into a relocation program. Don’t take that crazy women with you! You’ll get more done!”
With “done”, Miriam got off the old oak table and looked for her panties.
When Victoria and Miriam approached the Del Monte Hotel, they both exclaimed at the same exact time….”Osborne House!”
Victoria was like a school girl off to boarding school. She was thrilled they would be staying in the Dali Room that was reserved for special guest of the Navy. On the way to see Dali’s strange creations, Miriam came up short, and stood in front of a glass case.
“Oh look! Here’s my and my parents hero!”
Victoria glanced back, and felt faint as the name LEE flashed at her like a neon sign. Creeping towards the display honoring Real Admiral Willis Augustus Lee, she almost fainted – again!
“My parents learned to target shoot from Willey. He holds the record for Olympic gold medals. I’ going to shoot at the 2020 Olympics. I got a silver medal four years ago. I want the gold.”
Victoria wandered in a circle around Starfish, in a daze. She had experienced this when she went to Le Rosey, this getting of second hand information from her best friend who was always in the know long before she was.
“It’s a shame he does not get more attention. It’s the Robert E. Lee curse. My father was a wanna-be Redneck and Civil War buff. He told me all about the pans Britain had to invade the U.S. and win the war for the Confederacy.”
“He’s my kin. I descend from the Lees.” Peeped Victoria.
“Are you shitting me! Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I just found out. I was going to tell you tonight.”
“Damn! We got to go to the range now. You are a natural. I know it!”
“No! I told you – no! I will never pick up a gun. For the record, once again, here……”
“I did it.” Starfish told her best friend.
“Did what?”
“It!”
To be continued
At high noon today I finished reading about my kin, Willis Augutus Lee.
VA president of the Continental Congress, a signer of the Articles of Confederation, and the author of the Second Continental Congress’ famous Lee Resolution, this colonial statesman was one of the major voices in the American colonies’ fight for independence from Great Britain.
Woodminster Amongst the Redwoods
Posted on April 18, 2014 by Royal Rosamond Press
I was twelve when I came upon the Woodminster amphitheatre. I was put in a trance by what I beheld. I sensed I had entered the real world, the one I belonged in. Juanita Miller was the visionary for this outdoor theatre where plays inspired by her father were performed. Redwoods were planted around Woodminster. George Miller planted many trees in his visionary city, Fairmount. Nearby, my great grandfathers had picnics. Note the rifle hanging in the tree. The Stuttmeister farm lie just below this structure that is right out of Lord of the Rings.

Woodminster Cascade flows from the base of Woodminster Theatre and falls over 100 feet through a series of pools. The cascade and theatre were conceived by Juanita Miller, daughter of Joaquin Miller, and were constructed by the Works Progress Administration as a memorial to California writers and poets. During their construction in 1939-40, William Penn Mott was starting his career with the Oakland Parks & Recreation Department. He was responsible for the original landscaping, roads, parks and picnic grounds in the area we are now working to restore.” – http://www.wpamurals.com/oakland.htm
