Thanks to J.T. Major for the latest photo of Robley Rex at 107 years of age, one of a small handful of living WWI-era vets and "Kentucky's oldest vet":
Much respect to the venerable gentleman! (Photo taken Feb. 15, 2009. Previous Robley Rex posts.)

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!







HI YOU CAN GET A HOLD OF ME WE COULD BE FAMILY ... WE ARE FROM SCOTLAND TO PICTOU NOVA SCOTIA . NICE TO SEE REX.
Hello Deborah
Two gt. uncles of mine settled in Pictou NS in the 1820s. My maiden name was Robley.
Their names were William & John Robley. They came from Cumberland not Scotland. Robley is not a Scottish name, although one or two did stray across the border.
I have written a short biography of John Robley & am working on William. (see my web-site: www.robley.org.uk )
I am related to all the Robleys in Pictou, so was struck by your letter.
