Thank you for the kind comments.
Oh, I am so glad you got to go!
I managed to get a pretty good feed from C-span and watched the whole thing. Had my mom on the phone from Florida and we just broke down, he meant so much to us.
I managed to tour the national Cathedral many years ago
on a side trip to the national blacksmiths convention, it's filled with work from famous blacksmiths and is a most aweinspiring place. My late business partner and I got the
Cooks tour as the head custodian was from Atlanta and liked
blacksmiths, we went from the cellars to the top of the bell tower and viewed ironwork everywhere.
Samuel Yellin, America's most famous blacksmith has tons of work there, including the children's chapel gates which have
hundreds of little wrought iron birds on them ALL different!
There is even a chapel there with a piece of the moon rock
mounted in a stained glass window.
Again, so glad you got to go, an thanks for thinking of us
poor freepers mourning here.
God Bless Nancy and her family and
God Bless America!
