Stuffed Horned Frog Abuse?

Did you know it's illegal to drag a stuffed FROG from the back of a moving car?
Well, apparently it is! We got an e-mail last night in our inbox that I just had to share with all of you today. It's pretty entertaining...

Since TCU's mascot is a Horned Frog, this family decided to bring one along to Phoenix. Only problem is, looks like the frog didn't get a seat in the Ford Expedition for the trip!"

Interesting Family Information

The Wilsons came from Temple, Midlothian, Scotland (Clan Gunn) on the "Queeen of the West" and landed in New York City, NY on 1 March 1852. They were railroad people, both in Scotland and in Pennsylvania.

The Wests probably came from England. James Dixon West was a Captain in the Civil War for the Pennsylvania Regulars (Bucktails) and was probably at the surrender of Robert E. Lee. Mahlon Hibbs West - younger brother to James Dixon - was also in the Civil War (Maryland Company) and was sent to Andersonville Prison (GA) where he died of starvation. I have seen his grave marker at the National Cemetary in Andersonville.

Benjamin West, Sr was a renown colonial artist/painter. He studied in Europe and has been said to be the "American Raphael". He was commissioned by Kings and Popes.

The Youngs immigrated sometime prior to 1800 (Peter Young). The Gabriels came from Herbon, Duchy of Nassau, Germany in 1836. The Gabriels had one of the first woolen spinning mills in Allentown, PA. and were responsible for bringing to the area one of the first Jaquard looms. Their hosiery and knitted clothing was reknown throughout the East and in the mid-West. The Allentown Woolen Mill, later known as Henry Gabriel's Sons or "The Allentown Hosiery Company" was in existance until 1905 when it was moved to Coopersburg, PA. The goods produced were "... figured goods, coverlets, quilts, flannels, etc., for the farmers of the neighborhood who supplied the wool.".

Interesting Young/Gabriel Occupations: Carpenter, Fisherman, Glass Blower, Machinist, Factory Owner, Brewer, Teacher and Shoemaker.
