Presenting Tim Lambert An Historian's Historian



I met this amazing guy while looking up another Tim Lambert (someone who was a couple of grades ahead of me in high school) at Facebook.

Although he wasn't the Tim Lambert whom I was originally in search of, I decided that he was a keeper, so I sent him a friend request, and he accepted.

Anyway -- as most people know -- I love to do shout-outs and decided that it was the ideal time to create one for Tim.

As he recently had a birthday (on October 20), I told him that this would be a birthday present from me.

I had actually planned on finishing this shout-out sooner but life got in the way.

Anyway, today is Friday, October 23, 2020, and I created the Tweet below a little earlier today and am now making it part of this blog-entry.

Here are a couple of links I created using the Google advanced search.

With both searches, I entered Tim Lambert in the line for this exact word or phrase, but, in the first one, I entered historian in the space for all these words.

Click Me!!!

In this one, I left the all these words space blank.

Now Click Me!!!

Thanks for reading this, and, hopefully, sharing it with others...

Meet Anderson, Indiana Residents Larry "The CanMan" Van Ness & Ainsley Jo "PenLady" Phillips







Today (meaning the day that I'm writing this blog-entry) is Saturday, October 17, 2020. 

A week from today will make seven years since Larry and I became friends -- even though I actually met him on at least two occasions even before then.

Right around this time in 1966, I met his name when it was being written over and over by my best friend who thought she'd met her Mr. Right.

As I would find out later, Larry didn't have any idea that she felt that way about him at the time.

This is a story that I've written about in the past and plan on including it in my memoirs in the near future.

In 2003, I met him when he checked on me to see if I were okay when he noticed me while I was napping in my minivan, and he wanted to make sure that I was okay.  I learned that he liked getting out and collecting cans, but I didn't know why.

The third time was when I thought he needed a ride on a chilly, rainy day, and I had plenty of time, so I offered him a ride -- only to find out that he didn't need one.

Anyway, the whole story of those three main meetings will be in my memoirs before long.

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm -- in simple terms -- a writer.

People ask me what I write, and I believe that th
is pretty much says it all in a thumbnail sketch kind of way.

Another thing you might also wonder is whether or not I started calling myself PenLady to match Larry's CanMan.

The answer is no.

This was part of a handle I chose for myself when I first started using the Internet back in 1998.

Anyway -- long story short -- I just wanted to make a blog-entry showing our pictures and sharing a couple of links where you can find out more about each of us.

Michael Steven Clem 3/23/1953 - 5/31/1969

Because I often talk about this special friend who was taken too soon on the last day of May in 1969 when both of us were 16, I wanted to share a photo of him along with his obituary...




...as well as sharing his Find-A-Grave link:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/79841129/michael-s-clem

I would like to say a special thanks to Tami Hill Bowen for her help in getting a JPG of Mike's obituary for me as well as helping me out with other projects as well.
