A point of clarification. If anybody wants to get to the Torah site, they do not have to go thru Temple Judah. They can use http://DownhomeDavarTorah.blogspot.com and that will take them right to it.

Hi. I am getting ready to make the site reservation for the 2011 Goodlove reunion.
The Pinicon Ridge Park at Central City was very suitable last time, but the lodge lacks air-conditioning. The lodge we used in 2007 is available on Sunday, June 12. Do you think that is a good date?
If not June 12, do you have suggestions? There are dates available in July & August, but then we will deal with the summer heat. There are other places in the Central City area that do have AC.
Does anyone have a mailing list from the last reunion to share with me. Once we establish a date, I would like to send a 'save the date' card.
How did you handle the expenses in 2007?
Enjoy the coming weekend...
As ever, Linda
Linda, June 12 is a great date, but as far as I am concerned, any day is a good day if we can all get together. I'm ok with no A.C. I will try to generate a address list from my program. Joe probably has the list from the last Reunion. I did not handle the expenses from the last reunion, I believe Joe and Mary did. I would be happy to help out wherever needed with the finances. Thanks for all of your work on this. I am looking forward to coming to this 2011 Goodlove Reunion. Jeff Goodlove
This Day…
January 16: 550: During the Gothic War, The Ostrogoths, under King Totila, conquer Rome after a long siege, by bribing the Isaurian garrison. The Ostrogoths was the name applied to the eastern Goths. The Goths were Germanic in origin and and are often thought of as part of the various Barbarian Hordes that destroyed the Roman Empire. Unlike other such groups such as the Visigoths and Vandals, the Ostrogoths, at least under their greatest leader Theodoric the Great, were known for their religious toleration which was extended to the Jewish people.[1]
January 16: 1120: The Council of Nablus is held, establishing the earliest surviving written laws of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. This is the same Nablus that will be a Fatah stronghold at the end of the 20th Century and the same Jerusalem that is the capital of modern day Israel.[2]
January 16, 1232: In London, The Domus Conversorum known in English as the House of the Converts was founded by order of Henry III to provide a home and free maintenance for Jews converted to Christianity.[3]
January 16, 1412: The Medici family is appointed official banker of the Papacy. According to the Jewish Virtual Library “the organized Jewish communities of Florence, Siena, Pisa and Livorno were political creations of the Medici rulers. And like the Medici Grand Dukedom itself, these communities took shape in the course of the sixteenth century. For more about the unusual relationship between this famous Italian family see:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/medici.html[4]
January 16, 1547: Ivan the Terrible was crowned Czar of Russia. From the point of view of the Jewish people Ivan deserved to be called “the Terrible.” In 1563, he gave the Jews of Polotsk, Lithuania, the choice of converting or dying. When the Jews refused the cross, Ivan had his soldiers drill holes in the frozen Dvina River and then pushed three hundred Jewish men, women and children through them to their death.[5]
January 16, 1600: The 400 Jews of Verona completed their synagogue after their move into the ghetto. This date was actually celebrated as a "Purim" until the French Revolution, since many felt that the ghetto provided some protection, and since in an unusual move the keys of the ghetto were given to the Jewish leaders.[6]
In January 1666, Shabbetai arrived in Istanbul and was arrested as a rebel and imprisoned in Gallipoli. The Sultan gave him the choice of conversion to Islam or death; Shabbetai chose Islam and was immediately released. [7]

Wednesday, January 16, 1754
George Washington arrives in Williamsburg Virginia to report back to Lt. Governor Robert Dinwiddie and to present him with a letter from the French commander of Fort Le Boeuf which said that the French refused to leave the Ohio River valley. [8]
January 16, 1781
The night before the Battle of Cowpens, Morgan made his rounds to all the campfires and told each unit, “This is exactly what I want you to do, and I don’t expect you to stop and fight militiamen. It’s ok after you’ve shot your two rounds to run away.”
January 16, 1786: Virginia adopted the statute of Religious Freedom. This important lawe was to become the foundation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.[9]
January 16, 1826
Dr. Milton Reader Hunter, William Harrison Goodlove’s brother in law, born March 14, 1817, on his fathers farm, Catawba, Clark County, Ohio; died 1884 in Pleasant Tsp., Clark County Ohio. He was the son of Jonathan Hunter and Mary Shaw. He married Nancy Jane Goodlove, William Harrison Goodlove’s sister, December 27, 1842 in Clark Co. Ohio by Reverend Reuben Miller. She was born January 16, 1826, in Moorefield Twp. Clark Co. Ohio. She was the daughter of Conrad Goodlove and Catherine “Katie” McKinnon.[2][10]

January 16, 1861: The Crittenden Compromise, the last chance to keep North and South together, dies in the U.S. Senate.
Proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, the compromise was a series of constitutional amendments. The amendments would continue the old Missouri Compromise provisions of 1820, which divided the west along the latitude of 36Ý 30". North of this line, slavery was prohibited. The Missouri Compromise was negated by the Compromise of 1850, which allowed a vote by territorial residents (popular sovereignty) to decide the issue of slavery. Other amendments protected slavery in the District of Columbia, forbade federal interference with the interstate slave trade, and compensated owners whose slaves escaped to the free states.
Essentially, the Crittenden Compromise sought to alleviate all concerns of the southern states. Four states had already left the Union when it was proposed, but Crittenden hoped the compromise would lure them back. Crittenden thought he could muster support from both South and North and avert either a split of the nation or a civil war. The major problem with the plan was that it called for a complete compromise by the Republicans with virtually no concession on the part of the South. The Republican Party formed in 1854 solely for the purpose of opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories, particularly the areas north of the Missouri Compromise line. Just six years later, the party elected a president, Abraham Lincoln, over the complete opposition of the slave states. Crittenden was asking the Republicans to abandon their most key issues.
The vote was 25 against the compromise and 23 in favor of it. All 25 votes against it were cast by Republicans, and six senators from states that were in the process of seceding abstained. One Republican editorial insisted that the party "cannot be made to surrender the fruits of its recent victory." There would be no compromise; with the secession of states continuing, the country marched inexorably towards civil war. [12]

July 29, 1863. Greybeards moved to Alton, Ill, and guard Military Prison till January 16, 1864, and at Rock Island, Ill, till June 5, 1864.[4][14]
January 16th, 1865. We was off Hatteras. It was quite rough.[15][16]
January 16, 1919: The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, prohibiting the "manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes," is ratified on this day in 1919 and becomes the law of the land.
The movement for the prohibition of alcohol began in the early 19th century, when Americans concerned about the adverse effects of drinking began forming temperance societies. By the late 19th century, these groups had become a powerful political force, campaigning on the state level and calling for total national abstinence. In December 1917, the 18th Amendment, also known as the Prohibition Amendment, was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification.
Prohibition took effect in January 1919. Nine months later, Congress passed the Volstead Act, or National Prohibition Act, over President Woodrow Wilson's veto. The Volstead Act provided for the enforcement of prohibition, including the creation of a special unit of the Treasury Department. Despite a vigorous effort by law-enforcement agencies, the Volstead Act failed to prevent the large-scale distribution of alcoholic beverages, and organized crime flourished in America. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified, repealing prohibition.[17]
January 16, 1942” Deportations from Lodz to Chelmno begin, and continue until September 1942.[18]
January 16, 1945: On this day, Adolf Hitler takes to his underground bunker, where he remains for 105 days until he commits suicide.
Hitler retired to his bunker after deciding to remain in Berlin for the last great siege of the war. Fifty-five feet under the chancellery (Hitler's headquarters as chancellor), the shelter contained 18 small rooms and was fully self-sufficient, with its own water and electrical supply. He left only rarely (once to decorate a squadron of Hitler Youth) and spent most of his time micromanaging what was left of German defenses and entertaining Nazi colleagues like Hermann Goering, Heinrich Himmler, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Constantly at his side during this time were his companion, Eva Braun, and his Alsatian, Blondi.
On April 29, Hitler married Eva in their bunker hideaway. Eva Braun met Hitler while working as an assistant to Hitler's official photographer. Braun spent her time with Hitler out of public view, entertaining herself by skiing and swimming. She had no discernible influence on Hitler's political career but provided a certain domesticity to the life of the dictator. Loyal to the end, she refused to leave the bunker even as the Russians closed in.
Only hours after they were united in marriage, both Hitler and Eva committed suicide. Warned by officers that the Russians were only about a day from overtaking the chancellery and urged to escape to Berchtesgarden, a small town in the Bavarian Alps where Hitler owned a home, the dictator instead chose to take his life. Both he and his wife swallowed cyanide capsules (which had been tested for their efficacy on his "beloved" dog and her pups). For good measure, he shot himself with his pistol.[19]
January 16, 1991: After five months of negotiations, sanctions and a military buildup by mainly U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia fail to dislodge Iraqi troops from Kuwait following a 1990 invasion, an aerial bombardment of Iraq led by the United States signals the start of the Persian Gulf War, January 16, 1991. Iraq mounts little defense against a ground offensive launched Februiary 24; Kuwait is liberated and a cease fire is declared February 28. Peace terms require Iraq to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction, a failure to do so is cited as the reason for a U.S. led invasion in March 2003.[20]
January 16: 2008: A stone seal bearing the name of one of the families who acted as servants in the First Temple and then returned to Jerusalem after being exiled to Babylonia has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, a prominent Israeli archeologist said today. The 2,500-year-old black stone seal, which has the name "Temech" engraved on it, was found earlier this week amid stratified debris in the excavation under way just outside the Old City walls near the Dung Gate, said archeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, who is leading the dig. According to the Book of Nehemiah, the Temech family was servants of the First Temple and was sent into exile to Babylon following its destruction by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The family was among those who later returned to Jerusalem, the Bible recounts. The seal, which was bought in Babylon and dates to 538-445 BCE, portrays a common and popular cultic scene, Mazar said. The 2.1 x 1.8-cm. elliptical seal is engraved with two bearded priests standing on either side of an incense altar with their hands raised forward in a position of worship. A crescent moon, the symbol of the chief Babylonian god Sin, appears on the top of the altar. Under this scene are three Hebrew letters spelling Temech, Mazar said. The Bible refers to the Temech family: "These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city." [Nehemiah 7:6]... "The Nethinim [7:46]"... The children of Temech." [7:55]. The fact that this cultic scene relates to the Babylonian chief god seemed not to have disturbed the Jews who used it on their own seal, she added. The seal of one of the members of the Temech family was discovered just dozens of meters away from the Opel area, where the servants of the Temple, or "Nethinim," lived in the time of Nehemiah, Mazar said. "The seal of the Temech family gives us a direct connection between archeology and the biblical sources and serves as actual evidence of a family mentioned in the Bible," she said. "One cannot help being astonished by the credibility of the biblical source as seen by the archaeological find." The archeologist, who rose to international prominence for her recent excavation that may have uncovered King David's palace, most recently uncovered the remnants of a wall from Nehemiah. The dig is being sponsored by the Shalem Center, a Jerusalem research institute where Mazar serves as a senior fellow, and the City of David Foundation, which promotes Jewish settlement throughout east Jerusalem.[21]

[16][16] The trip to Savannah was one of the 24th Iowa’s most miserable experiences. The departure from Fortress Monroe had gone pleasantly the first day. But by January 16, the seas were very rough, and the Suwo-Nada often had her decks awash with breaking waves. Private Rigby, after depositing his breakfast over the rail, reported that there was no poetry in sea sickness. The temperate private was also put off by the adctions of a lieutenant of the 159th New York, who had taken too much of the “Old Joyful.” The officers antics were laughable, the whole affair was disgusting in Rigby’s opinion. A Rigby Journal, Jan. 17 and 25, 1865.
