>>Even Arnold, Benedict (major general) was born in Norwitch, Conneticut.
Just to be a little accurate, Norwich, Connecticut. I drive by his birthplace everyday. He could have been heralded as one of our patriots with his actions at Ft Ticonderoga and subsequent Siege of Boston. Sadly, he got greedy.
BTW, did you know Stephen F Austin went to school in Connecticut as well? Bacon Academy, Colchester Conn. I like to bring that up to my Texas cousins. They seem to get a little pissed about it.
The extra t was un-intended, and incorrect. Mea culpa.
I'm fine with the guys like Austin, Houston, and Crockett that settled Texas, or tried to..
I always extend a hand out to the Volunteer State when I can.
Texas and Tennessee... They have good whiskey, we drink it. Match made in heaven.
