Bill,
Have just finished “Declaration”, what a great read. I find it ineresting how caught up in legislative proceedings they were back then. I now think the July 2 should be our Independence Day, that is the day they took the vote. July 4th was just the day they approved the document, and, of course, it wasn’t signed on July 4th either. Oh well, probably too hard to change the holiday now.
Just like “Whiskey Rebellion”, I am fascinated with all of your fact-finding, and the ability to relate it in an absorbing manner.
Thanks for the autograph on it, I’ll try not to show up in a couple of years asking you to autograph it.
I hope to see you at the wedding event of the year in a few weeks.
Thanks again for another great book, it leads to my pleasure in reading and my learning about things I did not know of.

Hello,
I was wondering if you’re going to be in or near Scott Township, PA this year as we celebrate our 150th year. Some plans include burying a time capsule containing items from area students, a 5k run and parade through the township and a re-enactment of the Whiskey Rebellion. If you’re in the area, we’d love to host you at the Scott Township Public Library.
Thank you,
Kathleen
