Florida's East Coast

Saturday, 24 Nov 2018 | Views [187]

I Have A Dream: Martin Luther King NHS

Tuesday, 11 Sep 2018 | Views [232]

THERE ISN’T MUCH TO SAY ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KING that hasn’t already been said.  In fact, a visit to the MLK National Historic Site is more of a pilgrimage than a learning experience.  You have probably seen all the photos inside, ... Read more >

WILBUR AND ORVILLE POLISHED THEIR CRAFT in Dayton, Ohio, progressing from bicycles to gliders and ultimately to the first “airplane.”  So one — I — might assume that the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park would ... Read more >


Put That In Your Pipe

Tuesday, 14 Aug 2018 | Views [170]

I LOVE IT WHEN THINGS COME FULL CIRCLE.  Like this story, that begins in Peru, travels to London, then to Ohio and spans all of human history.  Ready?     The History of the World in 100 Objects We met Luke in 2010 ... Read more >
