Carolyn, you are so right! I was lucky enough t have a high school history teacher for two years, who really made it come alive. His name was George Griffin, at Marietta (Ga.) High. He would tell us personal things about the "Names" we studied as well as some not so well known people whom were affected by the events we learned about. The interest in history Mr. Griffin engendered in me is still active.

Happy Independence Day! Stan
