Daily Recap 10/12/12; VP Dick Cheney's Grandfather: PRESIDENT OBAMA BORN IN TOPEKA KS

Daily Recap 10/12/12: VP Dick Cheney's Grandfather: PRESIDENT OBAMA BORN IN TOPEKA KS
Another nice day , but got warm and had to run A/c some. began passing some blood and couldn't figure out why?. it did stop but realized that A Friday after PM one isn't going to find a doctor at all. Must still be some scabs form sinuses washing through. Sorry about t this  but this does go to some who are trying to assist me and its part of what I've gone through getitng medical care and one can;t trust food labels any more for the chemically sensitive.. Mail came and it took 5 months to pay the od\ffivce visit for pulmonary care by Federal Blues & of course paid at the lower wrong rate as they called and had the ofificial postings changed form the US Dept of Labor as those ilelgal propieretary agreements override laws, judgesand ters o govt contracts. contracts. This is obviously OWCP claims but their contractor Afiflaited Computer services tht runs most govt of thei wolrd now s now  thinks I've a million dollars my self and  won;t answer my letter for years that I don't. Part of the Jack Abramaoff bribery scandal still not fully investigated or prosecuted.. This is the corrupt mess everyone will put their lives under in 2014. No accountability of the ones running it. That has to be fixed and Congress has to do it and not one candidate is mentioning it  at all and no one is asking. we are being robbed and people aredying and being harmed and one can' balance any budget when the monies are being stolen! Did speak to one Fed today and she said her famiy is not geititng 100% paid on prevetative care either. So wehre is all this money? and how are they allowed to put out  healthcoverage and then ignore it?
PRESIDENT OBAMA BORN IN TOPEKA KS. Where ever my Mother had gone while at our visit at Aunt Grace's she never said. Must have been a lot of memories as the place where her and dad lived form 1922 until 1944, except for the year in Laverne California , was only Short block away from her in-laws home. Grandpa had deed over a few arcesfor a home for them. and dad had built the house. My memories are that I was born there was a midwife and others in attendance and A priest came in and I was baptised.. as I mentioned baabies have memories.the woma i first saw in the bed was not the Mother who raised me.. My dad had built that house with his ow hands. he had knowledgebeyound what one could imagine and where did he laearn all this, even ceating his own blueprints when he builat another home for them in the '70's.
Aunt Helen, President Obama's great grand mother got in her car and we folowed her to their home.  we then went into Holyoke, Colorado where behind one of those small grocery stores in many small towns in those years when there were no super markets or even gas station conveneience stors was where Great Uncle Charley Hunt lived . He had been a cook for the railroad and married twice and had two separae famiies. few furnishings and a new wood stove, simple life. He had a railroad pension. My mother's Uncle, her dad's brother.Sherman Tecumseh Hunt who then lived in california. . he had a picture of his one daughter that lived in Texarkana on a stand He said he had just got the new wood stove.his nephews had visited. he had at first  refused any help as he did not want to accept their 'blood money" These are the billionaire oil men, H.L. and Albert Jr Hunt founded Hunt Oil. They had wanted to build him a new home and help him in his last years, He refuesed but finally allowed them to buy him a new sotove to cook on and use for heat. This was summer and few had A/c then except the more wealthy. a neighbor in Topeka had a windo unit and used it sparingly. He explianed why he wouldn;t take their money. Apparently they had had some connection with the Vatican and helping Nazis get out of  Germany after WWII. The scheme was money and jewels were left in Eva peron's 'coffin' and then forged documents were picked up there He also tld of other political intrigue  in that a sisiter of his and my grand dad had gone to the Sorbonen in paris to school ad married a man form Poland then died in Child irth adn her grand son , in 1948 had been decided he was to be Pope and in 1978, he did as Pope John Paul II. Few in my mother's fmaily had returned to the Roman catholic church. its; said she entered a church aain at one time and had an argument with th rpiest nd left and never went back. She had started to be a Nun, then was expected to  marry Emporer Franz Joef Hapsburg and run the revived Holy Roman Empire.She ran off with some musicians and Squaredancers and married one of that family, Russell Hunt and Eurupe never learned how to square dance. They were married in the Methodist church in Ft Anne, Ny  in 1963 and had eeither 9 or 11 children. But this is a history of  president'sfamily and not my mother;s altough its historical record lots of intermarriages with the Medici family.
Great Uncle Charley told about his children. first had two daughters. One , whom mother always called Bessie lived with her family for awhile as a tennager and real name was Marjorie Lorriane Hunt and first husband  was Dickey. She played softball and got divorced in an era when that was a scandal. She then married a Cheney and had two sons one of who was Richard who became Vice President of the USA The other duaghter married late and had become a teacher andlived in Texarkana and one of her children is Ross Perot, presidential candidiate. Pictures were around.In Dick Cheney's recent book is a picture of Great Uncle Charley HUnt but the name is Dickey. Does he know he was a Hunt? Did his mother put down a former married name instead of maiden name on his birth record? now , one can see how official reocrds get so convoluted!  He was very sad about his second family. After his first wife died he emarried a native American woman in Ok and had two sons. . One mornng he got up smf she and boys were gone and he never heard for them again and could not locate them. he died a few years after our visit. In recent eyars, I was eading anarticle aout J B Hunt and items correllated, I did not know that a borther of my mother had contacted him a few eyars beofreand he was one of the miisng sons and  had worked for him and traveled with him some. on business. I never met him. nd acutally rtraveled with him on busiess.  My Uncle was shocked to learn that the Hunt Oil founders were his cousins. He was 35 years younger than my mother lived in Californis and here I was caught in the cross hairs of my family history where one memeber did not now about some other member and who everybody was. i had always known. he lieved seaprated by time and distance. Mom was always shocked by scandal and H L had plenty of that in his personal life. i left great Ucle Chalrley's with all kinds of info. A picture of him is in Dick Cheney's book and I do not know if the woman is his first wife or not. its him with railroad car kitchen. his cooking was for the men building the riailroad tracks and repairs.Dick Cheney has spken of him but calls him Dickey and not Hunt. Does he not know? I met Liz Cheney at a Church of the Brethren Annual Conference in 1994 , Richard's wife She asked me what My mother's name was after seeing;Linda Adams on my name tag. We spoke briefly about my ministry work and she spoke one evening, She just grinend when I said Florence Hunt a she wanted to know that much, but didn;t say why adn just grinned and was very friendly and I had ot made the conenction to K\dick until after she was introduced that evening.to speak. was introduced for the speech. lIt is ironic that A secretary of Defense had a mother with Chruch of the Brethren Cnnections, but I understand they are Methodists. Have no idwea why some famiies get spkit apart, In my mother;s family it was often the Catholic faith as some did return to it or some scandals did occur. After returning home I ead about the covered wageon tip the Hunt brothers took and were in when they arrived at Great Uncle Charley;s home. they had tkaen rails , as in old days and visited fmaily along the way. he said they ahd asked about my mother and had not known she had moved to KS 9 years earlier. Their Dad Albert Sr Hunt had signed up for an OK land run and lied about his ageas too young at 16 then married a neighbor ctholic girl and had the two borthers. Then he runs off and my Mom said another family of his included actress Helen Hayes and rumor has it others. After he left and divorced took place they struck oil. Kind of a family inside  joke on the runaway husband. Some said he died in oregon, Bios of the Hunt Oilmen mention little about him. most tell about H L being mareid to two women at the same tie and their children. I hav\d always been told there was no childres, but a misinterpretation as that;s how the extended famly handled women that might show up and claim to be a child or relative of his. So what words mena have to be carefully taken in context. I live where many no claim to be descendants of those two families of HL.Probably are as most have very blond hair and Blue eyes. My mother shared a lot of all this with me, but she did not speak of it in public or rarely with others. She knew gosisp wass a sin and  her sharing was not meant to be gosisp but instruction in human behavior. I do think she would have been an excellent Psychologist or psychiarist if shehad lived in an era when women had the opportunity. I have  report cards of hers and she was an A student as far as she went through part of high school. she was expected to drop out and help at home she had later learned that a doctor form Lincoln medical school had hrad how she had tken care of  her o\whle fmaiy in 1919 Flu epidemic and wanted her to come and work and go to nurisng school there and her parent did not tell her. she was only 14. Mom did not think there was any ulterior motive other than recognition of her ability. My Mom was the odest of 16 children. Some of whom born after she left home. Times were so different for women not so long ago. Younger generations really have no concept before the era of civil rights. Tomorrow: Visit at the home of Pres Obama's paternal great grand parents.
