The crest is the Lamp of Learning. The banner motto is "Knowledge is power."

WEB LOGS (BLOGS) OF CONTEMPORARY ORMISTONS
 
This is the less serious, more fun area of our website. We encourage Ormiston family members to post personal logs and picture galleries here. So far, we are holding pages open in eager anticipation for somebody to post their new material. Some Ormistons are very shy, you know!
