You must have taken a peek at the more recent photographs on the museum site. They are certainly more flattering to the property than the old black and white from the archived collection at the Library of Congress.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-8953661046683360982014-12-18T16:27:04.379-08:002014-12-18T16:27:04.379-08:00He does seem to have an appealing simple and strai...He does seem to have an appealing simple and straightforward way about him, doesn't he?

It's crazy, sometimes, what can pop into mind from a prompt--but sometimes that's the stuff that makes memories stick, too. <i>I</i> certainly will think of Ashtabula a little bit differently, now, too ;)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-31184754100504310712014-12-13T04:21:36.954-08:002014-12-13T04:21:36.954-08:00Oh Jacqi, I can't read about Ashtabula without...Oh Jacqi, I can't read about Ashtabula without recalling the scene in "A League of Their Own" when Dottie isn't interested in trying out for the baseball team, and the scout (played by Jon Lovitz) says, "Hey, no skin off my Ashtabula." Sorry to be so off-topic in my comment to your blog. LOL<br /><br />I like Charles' self-awareness about the kind of student he was - not the meanest. And if he thought there were too many law books then, what would he think today? Heaven forbid we try to live by common sense today.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
