At first the officer's story was denied denied denied. Now, there it is in the book.......she had the right to those files because they belonged to HER......admits they were spirited out of Foster's office.
There are many more to follow. Some are starting to see the light of day.
And there in lay the problem with lies...you have to keep all of them straight or risk being exposed, and ol' hillbilly-hillary is in the process of seeing her lies start to snap at her more than ample posterier...
America is Good. She is Good because her people are Good.
I think I'm quoting the President here, but if he hasn't said it, he should and can, with complete confidence. America is also quite beautiful...breathtakingly, amazingly beautiful.
I would like to take every county and state road that winds up the hill, away to the right...
What is over the hill? Around that curve?? Some good person, some treat for the eye, that's what!
When I remember this trip...I'll think of the smiling waitress patiently answering my husband's questions about Wayne County's many apple orchards....
the older gentleman volunteering & bustling to get the Drainage Tile Museum near Geneva, NY, ready for the collector's grandson to visit...
the young woman -another volunteer - opening the Harriet Tubman home promptly at 10, on a rainy day to 4 curious visitors....
lysie, concerned about her daughter and her daughter's dear horse,remembering her mother with such love and honor...
Waterloo, NY - Home & Origin of Memorial Day, decorating itself with flags and banners...
the couples who preserve history with hard work and little profit & open their B &Bs to strangers with hospitality and grace...
the woman at the Poughkeepsie library laughing at my husband's Korean tales and telling a few of her own about being an Air Force dependent wife in Korean War era Japan.
the man at the Van Wyck Homestead,finding book after book for me, marking the areas of interest, and THEN making sure we knew the way to another historic site in Fishkill...
Nita, proud of her area on the majestic Hudson River, and concerned about West Point and Newburgh, and their futures...
Bit, funny and knowledgeable about why such good Riesling wines come out of NY state...
the woman at the Locust Grove gift shop, who just HAD to search out the people with the Ohio license plate, because after all, she was a Buckeye native...
And whoever made the red, white and blue posters with photographs and info about the Corning Glass Works men who left for Europe, Asia, and N. Africa, and never made it back, and the shopowners displaying them along Market St. in Corning, NY....I read every one of them with sadness and awe...
The kindness, dedication, the gifts of self of all these amazing people....and believe me, these are only a few...will always be the centerpiece of this trip.
