Paris - Ooo La LA!

 

Paris.   There is a countdown daily to the Olympics to be played in Paris soon.   This Spring or early Summer my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson went to Paris.  Paris, France, that is.

There is also Paris, Texas. 

My grandfather was born in Pais, Texas, just when  his family were loading up the wagon to head back east to their hometown Franklin, Norh Carlina.  They named the baby Franklin Paris Hunter (1879-1950).

They never made it back to Franklin.  On the way back the father, William A. Hunter/Trammell decided they should settle in Woodstock, Georgia.  During the Civil War he was shot in the leg during the battle of Kennesaw Mountain and recuperated in a private residence  in Woodstock and while there he found the people were friendly and he made friends.

Not to mention he was probably still wanted for murder in Franklin when his name was William A. Trammell.

Fun Fact:  The movie PARIS, TEXAS, is banned in Paris, Texas.
