    I got an Illinois railroad pocketwatch gifted and engraved from Ben Harrison (Little Ben as he was known was only 5’2”) in 1890, it helps to remember Ben…which…he deserves 😉

    My father was a very well educated man who lived a very hard life, starting with a tough upbringing in the hills of eastern Kentucky. He worked hard to educate himself, all the while working the graveyard shift as a police officer in Lexington, Kentucky, while going to college full-time for years to get his bachelors and masters degrees in political science. Through all of this, he was riddled with illness in the form of a very serious kidney disease, which took his life at the age of 64. As you can imagine, he was a wise man as well. The older he got, the more devoutly religious he became. Through a life riddled with pain, lengthy hospital stays and multiple transplant surgeries, his faith grew stronger. He eventually was completely blind and barely able to walk. But his mind was still quite clear, and during his last stay in the hospital, the one we knew he would not make it home from, he told us he wanted to donate his remains to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. When we asked why, he simply said that they had somehow kept him alive for so many years that it was only fitting that they be able to study what was left of him in the hopes that it may help in some small way. And well, he didn't need it anymore.

    The French commander’s brother later led a raiding party well into central Pa and attacked and destroyed Fort Granville near present day Lewistown. This was down stream on the Juniata river 20 miles from the home/fort of Washington’s guide George Grogan. Recent excavations have uncovered the exact location of what later was known as Fort Shirley. It is in the present day town of Shirleysburg, Pa. Ten miles north of Forbes Road that was built near Shade Gap.

    Wilson, when he was in Paris Wilson when he was in Paris who said to be against reparation to be Levi and Germany. Subsequently Wilson apparently changed his mind and sided with the other three countries who supported reparations as a means of keeping Germany in check and unable to rebuild is military forces. It is also said run the time the president was very busy taking care of all of his notes attending all the meetings and virtually being the United States ambassador to the conference and a sitting United States president. He refused any assistance offered him including Secretary of State could've brought things to an easier end would let's dress on him. It is unfortunate that he did not he does vice, but President Wilson was not known to be particularly fogged up taking any ones advice or even listening to it. It is said when he wanted his room rearranged he did it himself, rather than asking hotel staff to help him move item is the furniture. This indeed was done without any months knowledge nor with anyone's assistance. Hindsight being what it is it seemed Mr. Bilson could've been in the beginnings of a stroke even then because that was odd behavior even for him. I am sympathetic to the man who had a stroke I am not sympathetic to the idea that he did not have any sense of when to stop and say hi need help. Probably today cicadas might say that he had something about Messi Yannick complex, because he didn't even try to save the world but instead caused a second world war 20 years later.
