I don't need to remind anyone that Anna disappeared on Jan. 16, 1973 but I don't know if anyone remembers that the time was 2:15 - 2:20 pm.

I propose that tomorrow everyone takes a minute to remember, light a candle or say a prayer according to their own beliefs at some point between 2:15- 2:20 pm tomorrow.

What a terrific idea. Will do......
 
Gee, nothing more exciting than playing with a wonderful big band honoring such as Horace Heidt, Gordon Goodwin, Martha Tilton, Henry Mancini and others. Not common names? Google them. The Big Band Academy of America honors heroes of the big band era (which continues today, btw, unknown to many). Go Google and check it out, or email miltbernhart@email.com, if you like big band music (or not, if you want to see what's going on).

Swing dancing is back, and big bands are swinging!

One of the strangest thing I've ever seen from the side of the road was a wild Monkey climbing a tree! At first I thought I was hallucinating! Then someone told me that many many years ago they were filming the movie "Tarzan" (I believe) and the monkeys escaped, then multiplied and I guess are still around out in the wild!

I vaguely recall that story, although I thought it was a circus and a train accident. Either the monkeys escaped as a result of the train accident or were released when the circus went out of business.

The Silver River's monkeys arrived in the late 1930s. S. Colonel Tooey, who operated the Jungle Cruise boat ride at the time, released monkeys from Southeast Asia on an island in the river to entice tourists to the area, according to a report in the Ocala Star-Banner. The monkeys swam the river and formed wild troops in the swamp forest.

The Tarzan movies were filmed in this area too, according to these links. But the monkeys were released by Colonel Tooey. It happened during the same rough time frame though, which would explain the Tarzan stories :D

Welcome, annasmomsbro!
 
Dr Doogie- Happy Belated Anniversary!

GinaM- Thank you for sharing those links! That is exactly where I saw the monkey, right outside Silver Springs! It was so weird! It's a beautiful area up there! Are you from the area?

Welcome Annasmomsbro!
 
I sit here and think about the first e-mail I received from Robin on Myspace and wanted to share with you. Of coarse, it had to be "edited".

"I just want to let you know that my room mate and I looked at the age progression picture of Anna and both of us said "C" at the same time. I do not know if this is anything, but we are taking this picture in to show "C" at work, because it looks just like her. I will let you know if it turns out to be anything. The age progression picture looks like her, but I don't see her in the younger pictures. Also, the woman that we know is 40, a waitress with "?" children, a really nice person, but she has dark hair, like a very dark brown. I will let you know what "C" says after dinner with her tomorrow. I believe it is primarily the smile that made us both think of "C".

Will write soon, and thinking of you,
Robin
 
Just Wanted To Let You Know That I Thought Of Anna And Her Family. Good Suggestion... I Cannot Wait To Hear Those Results. My Daughter Is Home Sick With An Ear Infection And I Am Bored Silly. She Is 5 Years Old And The Love Of My Life. So I Truely Feel For Annas Mom. Good Luck. I Only Go On Webslueths To Read This Forum Several Times A Day. But Do Not Post Much.
 
today at work ( i work in retail for target) i was covering a brake in the fitting room there was a women with her child she had to be around 3-4 years old she had the same curly hair like anna and if you looked at her face she looked like anna in the pictures of her as a child. i got goosebumps i fee like its a sign that good news is comming
 
This forum has a life all of its own. In someways for me Anna has allready been found. I found her in the words of Annasmom, in the love for her that is so evident from her brother, uncle , stepfather, kindergarden teacher and friends who have visited this forum. Anna's soul is alive in well in those lives who's time she spent with was much to brief. I hope if C is Anna, she is able to alow the wounds of the past not to bleed into the blessings of today. Instead I pray she is able to use the strentgh of those blessings to alow those wounds to heal so she can move forward with all the love of those people who have honered, loved and cherished her soul all these many years. I think Anna's mom for alowing us to get to know Anna and if it turns out C is not Anna I hope it gives Annas family some comfort in knowing that Anna is touching the lives of many of us 30+ years after she dissapeared. I believe websleuths found a part of Anna a long time ago.

:clap:

Very well said! I think that by getting to know Anna through those who knew her, Anna has touched all of our lives.

You're welcome GraceBlue :) I'm not from the area, I just did some online research because I was curious about those monkeys. That does look like a nice area :)

Welcome to WS and glad you were moved to post!

I thought of Anna today, also of 'C', Anna's mom, Anna's bro, Joe, and Anna's Mom's bro. Years of uncertainity and now it is so close we can almost reach out and touch it. Waiting is so hard, you don't know whether to be glad or to guard yourself for the answer.
My prayer was that something be known soon.

WOW. Mjak, you know how to put it all into words. Thank you for saying what I know so many feel but just don't know how to type it out.
 
Anna has touched many lives, even outside of this board and Myspace. My mom always has Anna in her prayers, and after I sent out the Christmas cards with Anna's picture in them, one of the recipients wrote me back that they were praying for Anna.

As I sit here typing, I have "Here Comes the Sun" running through my head. I think there's a bit of Anna in all of us :)
 
I seem to go to bed at night, and I have Anna often as my last thought, and again I awake and at 5am, Anna, Annasmom, the whole entire scope of this continues to move me very deeply.
My husband and I are in a search as well at this time, and the next step is to do DNA, but the results may or may not have someone to compare to, and even if they do, the person we are looking for, is most likely severely mentally impaired. Talking with all of you, and seeing Annasmoms amazing dignity and tact in this situation, is such a blessing to me at this time. I know this process can be done with dignity for all involved, and it gives me great hope that in the near future we may be able to do the same with DNA.
Either way the results, there is a world full of people, with good hearts, that are pushing that universal energy of hope and love for this whole family and all their friends, we support you all, 100%, and thank you ALL, for putting yourselves out there publicly, as you are more of an inspiration than you may ever know!
Blessings
 
Being a natural born pessimist, I have refrained from posting much over the last week. Nobody likes a downer...LOL Seriously though, please remember there is a 50% chance that "C" is not the same person as Anna. The odds are about the same as flipping a coin. Getting to high of hopes often leads to debilitating depression after a let down. I pray that "C" is Anna as are the rest of you, but my pessimist gut says no. It's highly unlikely they are one in the same. I'll gladly eat my hat if I am wrong.

a 3 year old girl dissappeared from her home and is suspected to have drown in a river.

so similar to how things began for Annasmom. I know this doesn't really belong in this forum, but I thought this little girl (and her mom!) could use all the prayers she can get.

Your post sounds an awful lot like the pragmatic side of my personality. It has taken a lot for me to override my natural tendency to remain in control of my emotions, but you are correct that the possibility remains that C is not Anna. I believe that she is Anna, but I could be wrong.
 
i myself always think i tend to jixs things so i got myself an evil eye its white with a blue eye in the middle. my family has used them for genrations the eye is suposed to ward off evil and bring only good to you
