• The Indy Sky Line

  In the past two weeks I have been to Indy twice. Earlier in the summer though we went to the Zoo, but I do not remember seeing the skyline like this. In all the years I have been to Indianapolis as a child visiting the various hospitals and even when we said goodbye to Uncle…

• Going… Old School

  Last Thursday our internet went on and off a few different times from noontime to sometime during the evening. When it came time to slow down for the night Mom had been asking me to put a movie on. So since our dumb television wasn’t acting as smart I decided to look through my DVD…

• The RMS Titanic

  There are so many facets to my education of the Titanic in different fashions during my thirty some years. One of the early manifestations of learning about this ship wreck was a movie we watched up at the Alsman house. I specifically remember watching my Uncle Tony make one of my brilliant birthday cakes while…

The Patpapsco River and this bridge were synonymous for nearly 50 years. This bridge is integral for commuters all around. This morning a container ship or cargo…

• Making A Beloved Patriot A Pawn

  George Washington has a special place in American History. As the first elected President of the American nation, although before then we did have several presidents in charge of the Continental Congress that allowed for George’s spot in our rich heritage. I find it amusing and perhaps an act of God that Biden was unable…

• 1941 Speech to Congress

  Eighty-two years ago President Franklin Roosevelt very articulately spoke to Congress, Americans and the World. Looking back at my time at OCU my senior year I wrote a paper about this very man. Some of my research showed me Roosevelt himself let this attack happen in order to step into war. This was a new…
