My Mom excelled at all the needle arts. She could whip up a pair of baby booties in a couple hours. Miss her so.

The word “shoddy“ stems from the Civil War. Defined as “short wool carded or worn from the inside of cloth, without fibre or tenacity, and with no capability of wear, and yet easily made into the semblance of more durable goods.” The Union uniforms made from it by Brooks Bros fell apart.

President Kennedy was assassinated 62 years ago today. It was so shocking. My parents took us to church that night and it was full even though there were no services. A priest came out and led us in the rosary.

President Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address 162 years ago today. A large crowd had been brought in by train to witness the cemetery dedication. But Lincoln had a high voice that didn't project well and most couldn’t hear him. They were surprised to realize he was done after two minutes.

Vigo has a nice collection of public art. But they need to get a handle on graffiti. The whole country does. I liked this clock.

This was Mabel Douglass, the first dean of NJ College for Women, now Rutgers. She disappeared while rowing in
Lake Placid (NY) in 1933. She may have committed suicide.
Her body was found 30 years later and it was still recognizable because the water was so cold.

Your website is great. I didn’t know about Chesterwood when I lived there. I also didn’t know about Robert Lincoln’s
mansion in VT and really wish I had.
