Not trying to be a smart-a$$ here ‘but’ .. “The guy had one hell of a cool signature!”
He signed a document or two, eh?
We still put our “John Hancock” on important documents.
It used to really mean something if you put your signature on something.

I’m reading up a lot on the founding fathers right now and just the whole period of history in general. I majored in history in college w/a minor in political science. I’ve had a passion for history most of my life, thanks to my father (who died when I was in high school). Bores the he** out of my husband sometimes, but my kids find my knowledge helpful when it comes to homework time :)
