HAGERSTOWN, MD
Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.
In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

Then we have our own essays tying the papers together as a dialog between political theorists and our essays to put everything in historical context. It's not something we can cut to any degree. This is basically a textbook, and we know it would have to be published in two or three volumes.
But there is nothing out there that does all the things that we do. I know there is a market for it, but I have to convince an agent that it's worth his time.
I’m so sorry! After all that anticipation
At venue awaiting Temptations concert. Center n 6 rows back. Couple more minutes
Hi hoosiermama!
My oh my how the time does fly. Seems like it was just yesterday, and you were ground zero reporting from Trump central.
What a great way to tell it like it is. Loves me some Steven Crowder.
Come on Indiana!
Someone asked earlier if Freepers were going, and knew someone was. Sorry the crowd was all crazy. Hopefully he’ll be back during the general! Did you see any protesters?
Great rant. Keep on digging up our study materials freepers- one and all.
They used to call him Lyin’ Lyndon down there, too.
Good for you Dolly! Have yo’ self a wonderful time.
Hi Dolly.
Just checking my pings list. I was away from the house- my brother and I went to batting cages for some brotherly love.
freepers are the best and so full of depth.
Here you are a woman of the cloth. Who knew?
Thank you for administering dignity at death to your hospice patients. Thank you Dolly. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. My mom died at an elderly folks home, and it was so wonderful to see the demographics of the people that showed up at her memorial, at the old folks home.
All Is Well (With My Soul) is so powerful, especially when taken into consideration and perspective by the circumstances surrounding the life of the author/composer.
