    While checking infomation on my name on the internet I found Truett Sparkman of Ol Lyme. Most unusual with first name spelled the same way. I am 78 and live in Los Angeles.

    Yes, the internet allows us to reach across time and space and find all sorts of interesting “stuff”. It’s easy to lose yourself, like in a museum of the Great Masters, wandering the strange places that people put up. It’s like a bizarre bazaar. Best of luck in your future “travels”. fjohn68
