One of the things that always impressed me about the Gracies is how they were able to turn out generation after generation of top-notch instructors. Na die lees van 'n aantal artikels oor hul oorspronklike band stelsel, ens, Ek het begin om van hul metodes met ons eie studente aan te pas. Once the student reaches Green Belt, we allow them to start
In a previous article, I talked about field trips and how they enhance a homeschool education. Vandag, I will recount a “uitstappie” wat ek het met my dogter Caitlin, toe sy drie jaar oud was. Ek onderskrifte dit “Hoe om die huis te verlaat met $25.00 en Home Kom met $ 0,75.” In die laat 1990's, die St. Louis Zoo had
My Grandpa used to tell me that Mom and Great Grandma were close. Great Grandma could be very stubborn, so Grandpa used to send Mom to talk to her about going to the doctor, ens. I will let Mom tell you about her grandmother in her own words. Caroline better known as Lee was a woman before her time. In
My oumagrootjie, Caroline Leah “Lee” Ellis nee Johannpeter was born to Frederick William August Johannpeter, 1839 – 1903, and Joanna Grieve, 1843 – Onbekend, in St. Charles, MO on June 13, 1881.

While it may not be on classic film lists, I love The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) (Koste skakel). It is an adaptation of the novel (Koste skakel) met dieselfde naam, geskryf deur Barones Orczy. The film concerns an English gentleman, who risks his life to save French aristocrats from the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney married Marguerite, a French woman with
Op Vrydag, April 24, 1953, drie mans en 'n wegbreek bestuurder probeer om die Suidwes-Bank beroof op die hoek van Suidwes Laan en S. KINGSHIGHWAY Boulevard in St. Louis, MO. Die St. Louis Polisie gefnuik die rooftog, wat die fokus van 'n geword 1959 movie, Die Groot St. Louis Bank Roof. The film is now in the public domain. Fred. Bowerman,
After Jack Johnson became champion, a lack of strong contenders caused public pressure to mount on James J. Jeffires, die afgetrede voormalige swaargewig-kampioen, to end his retirement and fight Johnson. Jeffries was considered the first and most credible of the “Wit Hoop” aanspraakmakers. In sy fleur, Jeffries probably couldn’t beat Johnson. Op 35 jaar oud en byna 300
Jack Johnson has always been a tough subject for me. I admire his courage and strength in confronting hatred and bigotry in a time when doing so put his life in danger. He refused to conform and accept a position of inferiority to white Americans. Tog, like many human beings he was a flawed man. He beat his first wife
Dit is 'n storie oor 1942-44 Hebert Street, Dit is geleë in die Ou North St. Louis omgewing van St. Louis, MO. Like many of its neighbors, hierdie struktuur het beter dae gesien. Ek het geïnteresseerd in die gebou, want my groot ouma woon op hierdie adres in 1930. My oupa se familie woon in die noordelike deel van die St.
William P. Ellis was my oupagrootjie. Ongelukkig, he passed away when my grandfather, Gilbert P. Ellis, was only two years old. My great grandmother did not know much about William’s family. The actual information Grandpa had on him was sparse, so William was the real mystery man in the family history up until 2006 of 2007. Grandpa had a
