McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Another piece of Tennessee history lost... Even though I have no personal connection to Memphis history, any loss of a beautiful piece of our state's history is sickening. Maybe someone will buy the whole place, furnishings and all. This is what one researcher wrote on a list: "Can you all and other historical groups get Tennessee to buy this great house and its furnishings? See link.. Such a historic place. To think of it kills my soul. Around the beautiful table in the library Grant planned the campaign at Vicksburg. I feel like Charlie Brown after striking out ten times in a row!" http://www.mccoolauctions.com/hp1.htm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 18:54:42 -0700 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Good news about that free chocolate... A few days ago, I sent a note about Dan's Chocolates' attempt to raise money for charity by sending out free chocolate. Well, I tried it. My box arrived a few minutes ago. It was (and WAS is the important word here) awesome. I'm hooked... In case you were afraid it was a scam and deleted the message, here it is again. Sadly, this is only good in the US... >Hi! Just wanted to let you know about "The Great Chocolate Challenge," >hosted by Dan's Chocolates. Dan's is giving away six-piece sample packs of >their scrumptious chocolates to 100,000 visitors to http://www.dans.com. >Dan's pays for the chocolate and shipping - you give a buck to charity. >Taste why when it comes to chocolates, fresher is better. > >To get your six piece sample box visit http://www.dans.com starting at 9 AM >(EST) every weekday through April 28th!
