East Tennessee


Pigeon Forge, TN. Date unknown. This is very near Sevierville, Gatlinberg and Dollywood. They have all merged into a big tourist area.


My Rogers family came from Sevierville, so that's where my interest lies. I need to find out if there are more relatives buried there besides Elijah Rogers and his wife's father Spencer Clack. They are given a memorial type cemetery down by the Little Pigeon River, which flows through most of those towns. And Spencer Clack has a big memorial on the grounds of the Court House put up by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Spencer Clack Chapter.


Yesterday we did have rain in the morning. Sunshine on a warm afternoon. Cold again at night.

Today's quote:

Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it! 

-Yuri Gagarin, first human in space (1934-1968)

Why does his countryman and president, Putin, have to make war on the Ukraine? It's not giving him any benefits. It's been almost a year now.
