"There is A man of strength,wisdom and a awesome Guide who my mom and her siblings along with Texas Government feared back in the early 1970s his name was Indian Joe who was fighting Government who was trying to steal his land. He no doubt scared my great uncle Skipper POWELL and my uncle Utzi and my mom many others almost to their deaths they told story of. Even houston newspapers and news had him all wrong. I honesty know for fact he is good man. Indian Joe is my spiritual friend who has kept me protected for anytime evil entered my land he made it known to everyone one these men around conroe once you walk inside Unique Lady Kittyz gate you want ever forget oh Indian Joe. Gabriel,Derek,John Weaver and many more men tell you Indian Joe Scared the poop out them. They would never enter inside her gate again. That's why i say he my friend and special to me for he sang a song with the red cardinals that lead me to mystery of mother missing 2yrs. She found and will be going home soon. Indian Joe says he will always keep her protected and the bird's along with the mother ,and him will continue to singing every day at 445am till 7am so her son knows she with him everyday.."

I would iove to visit him at my Grandma Sarah and Grandpa Rocco's 1st Place home in Brooklyn New York. They owned the entire building was filled with T heir whole family; Aunt Sarah, Aunt Anna, etc. They were all fun loving warm wonderful people and i would love being with them. They knew how to enjoy life and I loved every minute I spent with them. My father fought for custody of me and my brother and lost the battle because my mother lied and said she lived with my us===WHICH SHE DID NOT! My maternal grandpa Guiffgrandma Guiffre raised us. My mother, ,Julia, lived with my Aunt Marie--amd so they say. Julia eventually remarried a kind, gentle Norwegian man named Bjsrne --who was as kind as the sea is deep.

The flying Dutchman - Bert was a race car driver, mostly on dirt tracks. Bert told my father (his nephew) that he made his race car 4-wheel drive and he had to purposely lose some races so they didn't ban him from racing ... he said he could win every race with the airplane engine and 4-wheel drive race car.
Joe Wimberly:
Patterson Hardiman was my grandfather and the finest man that i have ever known. He would often tell us stories about his early life as a sharecropper in Grenada, Mississippi. He was born on January 3, 1886 the son of Albert Hardiman (a slave) who was born in 1847. My grandfather owned property in Grenada but he decided to relocate to Paducah, Kentucky which is where my mom Lottie Wimberly was born on November 15. 1927.

This photo is of widow Robert Waldman Longo who had two sons, Richard and William. Roberta disappeared around 1939 when her sons were babies. According to Richard, he was playing ball in his front yard when Roberta said she was going to the store. She got into a taxi and was never heard from again. Roberta's husband, William "Toots" Longo died in 1939. Roberta's mother Nellie Waldman raised the boys after Roberta disappeared. A detective named Basil Creek from the Dayton Police tried to find Roberta shortly after her disappearance to no avail. Please contact me if you have any information about Roberta. We would love to find any information about her.
