802	Posted to Fred's Place Memorial Board (http://www.fredsplace.org/obit/obituary.shtml) on 2 Jan 2005. I am writing this for my dad who passed away December 27th 1998. My father was the greatest man I will ever know. He taught me so much about life and what it has to offer. He always said you get out of life what you put in. He always said to treat others as you would like to be treated. He said to me so many great things that we have all either read from a book, or have heard from someone you know . I will never forget the day my father had his heart attack( the day after christmas) and changed the way I think and remember him on a daily basis. I have so many pictures of him, and a great silent vcr video of him while he toured on the Eastwind back in 62-63. My father had told me he was a lighthouse keeper on Bakers Light in Mass, but I never really became interested in his military background until a few years after he passed. I look at all the pictures I have and the vcr tape of the Eastwinds tour to many ports of call showing him and so many other coasties who had also toured on the Eastwind during Operation Deepfreeze. I realize this is not the traditional obituary you may expect to read, but I did not realize this wonderfull web-site existed until just last year(2003) I found out more about my fathers background on this web-site just by sending an e-mail under new arrivals. I heard from a wonderfull man who knew my dad when he was a lighthouse keeper on Bakers Light back in 1956. I never knew the year my dad served as a lighthouse keeper until I heard back from an e-mail I had sent asking more info on when my dad served on Bakers Light. I have also received many wonderfull e-mails from a few coasties who also knew my dad from the Eastwind. I am sending this non traditional late obituary announcement to inform anyone who may have served and known my father during his twenty one year career in the Coast Guard, and to share the knowledge of his past I have leared from hearing back from a few special people that knew my father until I found out about Fred's Place. I want to thank-you all who took the time to share a few good memories of my father. I pray for all the past, present and future military members who have given or are about to give more to this country than we will ever be able to give back. 01/02/05 Submitted by: Kimberley D.

811	Ragnar Lodbrok was a semi-legendary King of Denmark and Sweden who reigned sometime in the eighth or ninth centuries. Although he is something of a hero in his native Scandinavia, reliable accounts of his life are very sketchy and heavily based on ancient Viking sagas. Even the dating of his reign is not certain; there are sources that date it from 750-794, and others from 860-865. Neither jibes with what we know of him, and he probably held power as a warlord from approximately 835 to his death in 865, perhaps only being recognized as king in the last five years of his life. He was probably born in modern Norway, and later became part of the ruling class in Denmark. At some point, he became king there, and later gained control of Sweden and Finland (then a part of Sweden), as well. He was given the nickname "hairy breeches" because he favored trousers made from animal skin by his wife. He spent most of his life as a pirate and raider, invading one country after another. He would generally accept a huge payment to leave his victims alone, only to come back later and demand more riches in exchange for leaving. But as the extent of his realm shows, he was also a gifted military leader. By 845, he was a powerful ruler, and most likely a contemporary of the first ruler of Russia, the Viking Rurik. It is said he was always seeking new adventures because he was worried that his freebooting sons would do things that outshined his own achievements. In that year, he sailed southward, looking for new worlds to conquer. With 120 ships and 5,000 Viking warriors, he landed in modern France, probably at the Seine estuary, and ravaged West Francia, as the westernmost part of the Frankish empire was then known. Also in 845, Paris was captured and held ransom by a Viking raider, whom the sagas say was Ragnar Lodbrok. The traditional date for this is March 28, which is today referred to as Ragnar Lodbrok Day by many Scandinavians. The King of West Francia, Charlemagne's son Charles II "The Bald", paid him a fantastic amount of money not to destroy the city. Ragnar Lodbrok, according to Viking sources, was satisfied with no less than 7,000 pounds of silver in exchange for sparing the city. However, that didn’t stop Ragnar from attacking other parts of France, and it took a long time for the Franks to drive him out. Ragnar was a pagan who claimed to be a direct descendant of the god Odin. One of his favorite strategies was to attack Christian cities on holy feast days, knowing that many soldiers would be in church. After he was done with France, he turned his attention to England. In 865, he landed in Northumbria on the northeast coast of England. Here, it is claimed that he was defeated in battle for the only time, by King Ella of Northumbria. Ella’s men captured Ragnar, and the King ordered him thrown into a snake pit filled with poisonous snakes. As he was slowly being bitten to death, he was alleged to have exclaimed "How the little pigs would grunt if they knew the situation of the old boar!" One Viking saga states that when his four sons heard the manner of his death, they all reacted in great sorrow. Hvitserk, who was playing chess, gripped the piece so hard that he bled from his fingernails. Bjorn grabbed a spear so tightly that he left an impression in it, and Sigurd, who was trimming his nails, cut straight through to the bone. Ragnar’s fourth son, Ivor "the boneless", soon learned the details of his father’s death and swore that he would avenge his father’s death and subsequent killing, in time-honored Viking tradition. In 866, Ivor crossed the North Sea with a large army, met King Ella in battle, and captured him. He sentenced him to die according to the custom of the “blood red eagle”, which was to cut the ribs of the victim out and the lungs removed by grasping them and spreading them over the body. He then avenged his father’s death in exactly this manner. Although this story, like virtually all tales concerning Ragnar Lodbrok, may or may not be accurate, his death had serious consequences. Ivor was the mastermind behind the attacks on the English mainland in the final quarter of the ninth century. He invaded East Anglia, and the following year attacked York. He was aided by the internal struggle for power in Northumbria--which he was of course responsible for by killing Ella. These wars were a prelude to the long struggle of the Saxons of Alfred the Great against the "Danes" a generation later. Meanwhile, in France, the Vikings kept coming back for more booty. Among their feats was destroying the city of Rouen several times. Ultimately, many of them settled there permanently, in a land that became known as Normandy (for "Northmen", as the Franks called the Vikings).	LODBROK, Ragnar (I8200)

819	Rev. Nehemiah Porter early decided to enter the ministry, and after graduation from Harvard College, studied theology with Rev. George Lesslie. In 1750 he was ordained pastor of the church in Chebacco parish, and remained there 16 years. He then went to Nova Scotia, where he remained for a few years, and then returned to Massachusetts, and was installed as pastor in Ashfield, where he remained until his death, having served for seventy-five years as a minister of the Gospel. He was a person of unusual originality, and an uncompromising patriot. he volunteered his services as chaplain during the Revolutions, and always believed that his prayers turned the tide in favor of the Americans at the battle of Saratoga. He was strongly anti-slavery, and rendered important services to his country by his counsels. Many interesting stories are told of him; of his unswerving rectitude; his read with; his undaunted patriotism. There is room for only one here. A gentleman who refused to attend church ended his argument with "I have a right to think as I have a mind to." To which Mr. Porter instantly replied, "You have not right to thing wrong."
