George Wichgers proved to be a good thrower and hurdler. I think he even started liking track late in the season.

We know little of the stained-glass work of C.E. Gwilt. But it must have been favourably received, because he submitted designs for a competition to create windows for the House of Lords. These designs were for a large window depicting eight Norman kings. In 1844 they were exhibited at the Bazaar, St James’s Street, London.
This window was formerly located in a house in Niton in the Isle of Wight.
Gwilt was one of several stained-glass artists in the first half of the 1800s who experimented with the use of coloured glass in their compositions, in a return to earlier traditions. In this window Gwilt combines coloured and stained glass in a setting of clear quarries (diamond-shaped panes as used in lattice windows). Heraldry had been a popular addition to windows since the Middle Ages. Here we see arms representing the patron saints of Scotland and Ireland, Andrew and Patrick. St George represents England.

The tragic and unjust murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 caused a tidal wave of anger, frustration, and action to address systemic police brutality and racism in our community, state, country, and world.
I'm embarrassed to say that this happened very near to my home. In fact, it took me well over a month to visit the memorial site where Mr. Floyd uttered his last words, "I can't breathe" at 38th & Chicago in Minneapolis, MN.
The pain and suffering are still apparent, but out of the ashes emerges a new feeling of activism and awareness. I can only hope that the energy around this tragedy leads to positive things.
George is a product of a hatching projects. In these projects some facility hatches a clutch of eggs to show chicks being born. In most of these projects no thought is given about what to do with the chickens after the project is finished. George was lucky enough to b brought to Tamerlaine Sanctuary where he lives with a number of hens.
Tamerlaine Sanctuary is in Montague NJ.

"George Middleton was an early leader in Boston’s African American community and he was a colonel in the Revolutionary War. Middleton and Louis Glapion began constructing a two family residence at 5 Pinckney Street in 1786. Finished in 1787, this building is now the oldest extant home on Beacon Hill. This wood structure is a typical example of late 18th century Boston homes built by African Americans.
Little is known of Louis Glapion except that he was a hairdresser who may have been from the French West Indies. Glapion lived and ran his business out of 5 Pinckney Street until his death in 1813. His wife Lucy continued to live there until 1832. George Middleton worked tending horses, but during the Revolution he was the leader of a black militia company called the Bucks of America. While little evidence of the group has survived, they likely guarded the property of Boston merchants during the Revolution and they may have also been known as the “Protectors.” Near the close of the Revolution, the Bucks of America were presented with a unit flag by John Hancock. This flag is preserved in the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society."
