(Okay, that's a crazy long sentence!) Here's the Guns of Will Sonnett catchphrase (said by quick-draw Walter Brennan): "No brag, just fact." Each episode ends with Will Sonnett saying a prayer. A little corny, but I love it!Johnnie Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579456085122829964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-82479452339396248272013-05-05T20:55:47.276-07:002013-05-05T20:55:47.276-07:00Hi, Veronica.

I have Dutch ancestry, too. :) The Hiding Place is one of my favorite books.<br /><br />And I like The Rifleman, Big Valley, and Bonanza, too! I've never heard of Guns of Will Sonnet (I may check it out). I even used to write fan fiction/poetry for Bonanza.Melissa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00501543424305280663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-71102979233931214092013-05-04T20:34:52.684-07:002013-05-04T20:34:52.684-07:00I've been wanting to read this one!

I mentioned a couple of resources in an earlier comment. Another favorite was a documentary about the hidden children in Holland. So many families took in the Jewish children and hid them from the Nazis. That is why my heroine's heritage is Dutch.Johnnie Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579456085122829964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-17258221373844061002013-05-02T11:50:58.751-07:002013-05-02T11:50:58.751-07:00Hi, Apple Blossom.
