I was going to remark on the anniversary of my character’s demise but I think that America’s Storyteller, Ken Burns does it in a most compelling and succinct way.

Thank you to all of our fine citizens that attended. I was a bit under the weather and must apologize. It was still a joy to answer questions and pose for many photos.

I will be onsite at this event to offer my services in explaining our Grand Experiment. They seem to be issuing a muster call to all Colonial Reenactors to join the cause! This will be a great lead up to our July 4 Semiquincentennial.

A copy of my medal will “flip” at this evening’s Super Bowl sporting event! Care to comment of which side will prevail?

The “coin” to be tossed at the Super Bowl this Sunday is unlike any other. Soon to join the Smithsonian’s National Numismatic Collection, this unique object is not a coin, but rather a small silver medal whose story begins with the founding of the nation 250 years ago.
