Baron von Steuben Bust

He's beautiful - thank you so much to the sculptor for this wonderful gift. However, did anyone else notice that the date for his training the troops at Valley Forge is off by 10 years? Gen. Washington and the troops camped at Valley Forge the winter of 1777-1778. By 1788 the war was long over and the Constitution had been written.

I would be shocked if this doesn't make James's online comments column in the Sunday paper.

Maybe fuzzy math Economists just cooked the books of the last ten years...

So there's where you were Captain James T and an chance getting to play the dumb card here [though yet had been an learning curve with an requested loaner] on a computer Family gifted me with when at about that same time but anyway a situation happened that day that caused me an stay in at the Office but thought I'd go the the H-R web cam and at least watch the unveiling of the new statue. If only the camera had been tilted for the mornings exception,got to see those in the audience though and closer it got to parade time watched that crowd grow too. To bad the tree was in the way,viewing the parade wasn't that grand. Just a thought though I most certainly do not plan on that recurring situation that causes me to be a shut in when I'd prefer being there but a thought for HR-Officials to do for 24/7 shut ins and maybe advertise it for the day for next years parade (or anything special going on downtown for that fact) is maybe move that camera and zoom in on the activity. It would be either that or move the tree but let's not go into being environmentally disruptive around here after all the work City has put into it. So hello to you too since the first I've seen of you since able to get back in on my own accord to the FP.
