"Morgan,    You're dead on about how good the town looks!I'm always a little dismayed when I see some of the efforts out here that look more like dinner theatre sets .I've seen better H O  model railroad buildings than…"

"Bernard, I enjoyed both videos. It's nice to see an array of characters dressed in costuming befitting a "living Town". The buildings and sets are magnificent (jealous we don't have something equal to that here in the states).…"

" This was an impressive video.The town looks right,costuming is spot on and one can see that a good time was had by all.The only problem I had was with the spelling of "fayre" which looks a bit oddly archaic in a 19th…"

"Very good! I really enjoyed it. Goffredo Pictures did a great job at filming an editing. One question that comes to mind after seeing everyone's fine portrayal of characters; is there a reason why there seems to be no one portraying saloon girl…"

"I'll add this.  My parents & I didn't move to our Williamson County ranch until Dad retired in '60.  Because he worked for the city of Austin, we had to maintain a residence in Austin.  We built a house on the…"

"Depends on where you were & your circumstances.  My paternal grandmother, who lived with us until 1952 when she died, grew up on a large cotton farm in Travis County, Texas, near the town of Manor (the Manor city park, Jenny Lane Park, is…"

"Yeah, that's pretty discusting. Expecially for the women and kids. Well, the kids could have cared less but those women must have been cringing at the thought of crawling into by then, luke warm gray water."

"'Don't throw the baby out with the bath water'? A large tub was filled with water that had been drawn/carried and heated. Bath time started with the man of the house, then the sons and other men in the home. Then the women and…"
