Even though he inspired me With Henrietta Pussycat Meow Meow Like Mr. Rogers, I would not have thought I would be like him. Hmmmm. I loved his dedication to the city and the children who lived in it.

I got George Washington
Scott, did you know that he was taken to court over a $5000 unpaid bill to a Lawrence County Iron Ore Mine in the 1800’a and had to spend the night in the Lawrence County jail. Sadly to say he took advantage of the mine owner due to the fact that he spoke broken English and mostly French.
Andrew Carnegie…*and* I’m a CMU grad! 😀
