But he did spend some time after the show to answer our questions. Maybe he learned from his experience from previous shows that he needed to give something to the audience that was Star Trek related. That final segment made the evening.rcleary171https://www.blogger.com/profile/05037605683441169143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-11287594663940284592017-12-30T18:50:30.563-08:002017-12-30T18:50:30.563-08:00Fascinating post.

There is a CWF Dare of Selden buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Port Jefferson, Long Island, age 82 at the time of his death on April 8, 1988. There is also a Charles Dare of Port Jefferson buried there, age 2 years and 3 months at the time of his death on December 8, 1864 and it appears to indicate that he was the son of Joseph Dare. This information comes from http://longislandgenealogy.com/CedarHill/STARTUP.html - choose the "51-100" option and then go to page 75. According to a posting by Linda Lindley on genealogy.com on April 14, 2000 (Subject: "Charles W.F. Dare - Long Island, New York"), Joseph R. Dare was born in 1841 and is one of Charles WF Dare's sons, so that likely makes the Charles Dare who is buried there the grandson of the CWF Dare who is buried there. Also according to Linda Lindley, Charles WF Dare had a son, Charles WF Dare, Jr. born in 1835. This Charles WF Dare Jr. is not listed on the website as being buried in Port Jefferson and I do not recall seeing a grave for him there. Are you sure this one is the carousel maker? I ask because my friend, who is related, showed me a letter from Mrs. Lucille Beck, another Dare descendent, that included an excerpt from Frederick Fried's book about carousels and according to my notes (either in the letter or the book excerpt) it says that the carousel maker was born on January 19, 1806 in Lancashire, England and that he arrived in America at age 18. That would imply that the CWF Dare who is buried in Port Jefferson was the carousel maker (because that CWF Dare was 82 when he died on April 8, 1888 - meaning he was born around 1806).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-75402778534969699422012-02-20T20:11:38.394-08:002012-02-20T20:11:38.394-08:00I also have this menu and was wondering if anyone ...I also have this menu and was wondering if anyone knows of the valueCharles in Cincinnati, Ohionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-48887804081819116152011-12-12T22:11:08.454-08:002011-12-12T22:11:08.454-08:00I grew up in Cincy, and I loved to go to the Wheel...I grew up in Cincy, and I loved to go to the Wheel Cafe in the early 70s and mid 70s with my Uncle.

I believe it is part (the boiler portion) of a steam engine. The problem with pieces of equipment like this one is that a lot of it was hauled away as scrap metal during the war, and hence it is no longer in some farmer's back 40. I have seen RPPs that picture much larger steam traction engines than this.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-51416115538649676392011-08-01T02:55:49.603-07:002011-08-01T02:55:49.603-07:00asdfjklasasjklfasfssasdfjklasasjklfasfsshassanhttp://www.webcertaininfo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-43274129564275221452011-08-01T02:48:03.708-07:002011-08-01T02:48:03.708-07:00askfkasfas c ontain intgion of ways to cebg he ns...askfkasfas c ontain intgion of ways to cebg he nsic larg eogousaifhttp://www.webcertaininfo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-35290567915708161282011-08-01T02:25:34.427-07:002011-08-01T02:25:34.427-07:00another bin gthak for boor who idnifed mcuh of wo...another bin gthak for boor who idnifed mcuh of work in tlast post enexo amngzin i ent searhc for msflsmicalhttp://www.webcertain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-17989901197070776392011-08-01T02:23:51.957-07:002011-08-01T02:23:51.957-07:00shme tha tbeen given our filed immination tososed ...shme tha tbeen given our filed immination tososed our seed into the sodn of abren rive rbootm on als tworld name erath .micalhttp://www.webcertain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461795900400116634.post-80539584030965786042011-07-22T09:00:56.551-07:002011-07-22T09:00:56.551-07:00I think it's a crying shame that we've bee...I think it's a crying shame that we've been given so much by our willingness to EXPLORE our world and the (potential) worlds around us.
