Thanks for the heads up. I also read that the place is haunted. Christopher Billop was a nasty slaveowner who beat to death one of his female slaves who refused his advances and a servant died - chased by him, she fell in the stairwell because he thought she was betraying him.Miminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314630891767076447.post-79302516884673184592010-12-07T21:06:46.874-08:002010-12-07T21:06:46.874-08:00For the first time since beginning to read your mi...For the first time since beginning to read your missives, I find myself in disagreement with you. "Innocuous" indeed! Personally, *I* found the pole marking of the southernmost point of the greatest state in the Union to be a demonstration of both modesty and restraint on the part of the citizenry. While it is deserving of a sharp marble plinth with etched letters limned in gold delaring the location to be the very edge of *true* civilization, I admit the understated little wooden marking is more fitting of the humor and self depreciation that marks the character of a New Yorker. <br />-keith <br />(tounge firmly lodged in cheek) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314630891767076447.post-24245010334136103162010-11-29T10:59:16.925-08:002010-11-29T10:59:16.925-08:00The Dutch in America and the Dutch Reformed Church...The Dutch in America and the Dutch Reformed Church do not get the credit they deserve. According to the church's website, past and current members of the church include Geronimo, Evel Knievel, Theodore Roosevelt, and Donald Trump (and many others too numerous to list here). Dutch farmers also settled in the Willamette Valley in Oregon; we have a hand-crafted table made by 'A Touch of Dutch' near Hillsboro. - MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314630891767076447.post-59272257064982644332010-11-28T11:09:39.339-08:002010-11-28T11:09:39.339-08:00The picture the the Christopher house looks like i...The picture the the Christopher house looks like it is falling apart.
