delightful - your hometown visit sounds very touching, and judging by the group, you are still appreciated. When we visit those rooted places, it's amazing the memories that return, but also, the emotions, which are much more than nostalgia, imagining the "home folks" as they appeared in our youthful eyes. If you are interested, I can share some revolutionary war books that are recent reads, some very divergent perspectives that opened my eyes. As we near 250, hopefully people will find deeper meaning than wrestling on the White House grounds...
Yes, memories are layered with a clearer understanding of their meaning. And about history: I find more to be had in reflection than spectacle. Maybe I’ll skip the White House mud wrestling.
Wow! Sixty people! I am so glad you decided to do this. Filger Library needs community support, and a successful event like this is just the ticket.
Good luck with the Eureka Rotary. Dennis and I have spoken to Rotary groups, who have always been receptive. Some clubs are tiny and some quite large...

Thanks. Nice to know they resonated with you, too.
All good, Steve, but the Library portion was fantastic, Thanks for sharing.
Again: high praise coming from you. Thanks for reading.
