The words had feeling, dread, beauty and great sadness. You brought the reality to life.

Being Rush's first cousin, three times removed, through Peter Limbaugh (grandson of the first American Limbaugh), whose daughter Amelia (Meli) Limbaugh did marry Asa Grant and bear him several children, including William (Billy Dutch) Grant, my great-grandfather, I am charged with coming up with the word that Rush might search for during his monologues. To this point, I am 98,5% accurate in my word choice.<br /> Diana and I were also sponsors of the Rush to Excellence Tour stop in McAllen Texas, back in 1989 when KURV Radio - 710 AM shook down four small businessmen to sponsor the event at the Civic Centre at 1,000 Yankee Dollars per sponsor. That was before we learned of our neither close nor distant relation.<br /> In keeping with Republican wisdom, my brother who had been AA for John Tower in Washington and Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas for a long stint deferred attending the event which was overwhelmed by 4,000 attendees, by saying, "The guy's a blowhard who will fad out in 18 months. Mark my words."<br /> My wife and mother attended the private reception at the Tower Club in downtown McAllen during the afternoon before the show. The complementary picture, with my mother standing by Rush, who towered over both was interesting. When I saw them I said, "Look mother, Rush looks like a twin of Uncle Billy and you." She looked again at the picture, along with Diana, and said, "Oh, My God! You don't think he's one of the same Limbaughs as Granny Grant, do you?"<br /> "I don't know, mom, but I'll check it out. As it turned out, without Peter Limbaugh, his forbearers, Asa Grant, and his wife Amelia Limbaugh, El Gringo Viejo would not be here.<br /><br /> Shall the Circle Remain Un-broken.....<br /><br />Thanks for the time, and we hear you about that hollow ring through the fog and drizzle, on that cold December morning, when the funereal peal sounds, and there is no funeral, only the recognition of a cold, Episcopal Church, with no lights, no Advent Wreath, no kneeler squeaky or clunking, no "A Mighty Fortress...." crisping through the frosty air, heard from a mile away.....all gone.<br /><br />El Gringo Viejo David Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-25724973067007987362015-11-11T15:21:49.257-08:002015-11-11T15:21:49.257-08:00http://celdf.org/ might give you some hope
