@SalinaBBaker My dad was a top machinist and never went to college. I remember him taking me to see the capsules he was working on. It was difficult work in so manybeays. Cheers to pops who just died. Finding pins of his service wakes memories.

@SalinaBBaker I remember my mom pulling me out of my crib and sitting me in front of the old black and white TV to watch something. I sat in my diaper and some guy in a puffy suit bouncing down a ladder. One of my first memories. I didn't understand what she was doing.
Now I'm an engineer

@SalinaBBaker Thanks for recommending Plus biography. Such a fascinating team the knoxs. From birth to death theirs lives were so intense. In some ways I'd like to know more but look at what they did. I'd compare them to the Adams. Conveniently appearing at the most important time.

@SalinaBBaker @racefan144 Ordered! Look forward to reading it.

@DJWFoundation RIP Pepperell MA

@ShaneLowryGolf @TheMasters I owe you a beer

[rob slabysz @RSlabysz]

@ShaneLowryGolf I owe you a beer if you're ever in New England. I put a $1 on about six people but I had a hunch on lowry

@TewksburyPD That's one strong beautiful family!

@history_dame @VARevolution250 Ok. I was all pooped out from
harassing the redcoats down the street at our 1775 celebrations but it's that time of the season. I actually liked the young kids seemed to really enjoy talking to the actors. They did great job

@EchoesofWarYT I'd say ambitious lose cannon. Not low self esteem but ego. I think an ego well deserved with bravery and ambition. I think the monument at Saratoga is so profoundly appropos.

@SalinaBBaker Team Col Robinson and Cobble Hill here. He's my neighbor now out in the suburbs. Back at the siege back then. I watched many 4thJuly fireworks from my attic. It's pretty far. I guess Washington/Greene/Knox inspected the area frequently. Go Old Sow!!!

[rob slabysz @RSlabysz]

@Shaysite1786 @SalinaBBaker I lived in a big old house just north of Cobble Hill. Big old yard. Wish I knew more of the history back then.

@JC12664 @SalinaBBaker I believe the Celtic cross was common in the Victorian era New England. It was the trend. You'll see them quite often in the Victorian cemeteries.

@SWOConnell General Gage: "Will he fight?"
​Abijah Willard: "I cannot answer for his men, but Colonel Prescott will fight you to the gates of hell."
​Other versions of this exchange record Willard saying, "Prescott is an old soldier, he will fight as long as a drop of blood is in his vein

@SWOConnell Either way, the British high command was warned that the man across from them was not a "rabble" leader who would flee at the first sight of Redcoats.
