Long Lost Step-Cousin Clark Gable -- Yet Another Longshot

Hey Cousins!
Ancestor worshipping can be fun eh?

Gee this is cool, my 2nd cousin Mary Ann told me this...

Momma was in the WAVEs in WWII the big one. Clark visited there in the beer mess hall... they called the Wave Garden... anyway... said he was downright handsome in person too. No one bothered him but they sure did stare!

I need to add him to our ancestor wanna bees... at least
we are related WAY back in Scotland. I shall research and get back w/ yall. Hope it was his momma!

>Did I ever tell you that Clark Gable's mother or stepmother was a Dunlap?<

--------------------

Turns out he is a step-cousin... but hey I'll take it!
His Step-Mother no doubt was one of our Dunlap Clan somewhere there... wouldn't it be neat if she was closely related To Pop Pop's mother <Charles Oscar Moore> our Amanda Dunlap Moore that the Scotty Line is named for?

Definitely our line at least the right location... SouthEast Ohio.

Gee a famous step kin vs. a horse thief... I always liked Gone With The Wind... I keep hoping the end changes everytime I see it.
