From my archives:
Mary Jemison (Deh-he-wä-mis)(1743–1833) was an American frontierswoman and an adopted Seneca. As a teenager, she was captured in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania from her home along Marsh Creek, and later chose to remain a Seneca.
Mary Jemison was born to Thomas and Jane Jemison aboard the ship William and Mary in the fall of 1743 while en route from Northern Ireland to America. Upon their arrival in America, the couple and their new child joined other Irish American immigrants and headed west from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to what was then the western frontier (now central Pennsylvania) and squatted on territory that was under the authority of the Iroquois Confederacy.
During the time the Jemisons were establishing their home, the French and Indian War was raging. One morning in 1758, a capturing party consisting of six Shawnee Indians and four Frenchmen captured Mary, her family (except two older brothers) and Davy Wheelock a boy from another family. On route to Fort Duquesne (where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to create the Ohio River in modern-day Pittsburgh), Mary’s mother, father, and siblings were killed and scalped. Mary and the other young boy were spared. Once the party reached the Fort, Mary was given to two Seneca Indians, who took Mary downriver. The Senecas adopted Mary, calling her Deh-he-wä-mis, which, according to her book means, "corn tassel." She was later renamed "little woman of great courage" by the indians.
She married a Delaware named Sheninjee and had a son who she named Thomas after her father. Concerned that the end of the war would mean the return of captives and thus the loss of his young wife, Sheninjee took Mary on a 700-mile (1,100 km) journey to the Sehgahunda Valley along the Genesee River. Although Mary reached this destination, her husband did not. He had left his wife in order to hunt, had taken ill and died.
Now a widow, Mary was taken in by Sheninjee's clan relatives and made her home at the Little Beard's Town (present-day Cuylerville, New York. She married a Seneca named Hiakatoo and had six more children.
Much of the land at Little Beard's Town was sold by the Senecas to white settlers in 1797. At that time, during negotiations with the Holland Land Company held at Geneseo, New York, Mary Jemison proved to be an able negotiator for the Seneca tribe and helped win more favorable terms for giving up their rights to the land in the Treaty of Big Tree
In 1823, most of the remainder of the land was sold, except for a 2-acre (8,100 m2) tract of land reserved for Mary's use. Known locally as the "White Woman of the Genesee", Mary lived on the tract until she sold it in 1831 and moved to the Buffalo Creek Reservation.
Mary lived the rest of her life with the people of the Seneca Nation until she died on September 19, 1833. She was initially buried on the Buffalo Creek Reservation, but in 1874 was reinterred at William Pryor Letchworth's Glen Iris Estate (now Letchworth State Park in present day Castile, New York. A bronze statue of Mary, created in 1910, marks her grave on the Council Grounds of Letchworth State Park.

Juxtaposition : taken from the archive (January 2019), rain was then coming (& raindrops hitting the lens), raging sea, but the doggie was still fast asleep; the warm color of the beach sand also juxtaposed with the cold waters & dark rain clouds.
the motor pool here at KSC is what keeps all the vehicles you see whizzing about the VAB and SPH running at top notch

"...Guardianship is (represented as) a muscular man holding a plumed helmet.
For protection he is wearing a lion skin and holding a shield and sword. He is also holding a fasces. His quotation, “Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty,” is attributed to Thomas Jefferson. The pedestal reliefs show a quiver with arrows, a sword, and a shield."
Fraser also sculpture the equestrian statue of Teddy Roosevelt in front of the Museum of Natural history in New York and the Buffalo Nickel.

There aren't a lot of photos on Flickr of refurbished/'refronted' Leyland Atlantean OJI4373 (ex EBV87S) - in fact this is the only sunny one - so here is a view of it at Cleveleys bus station. Not sure what a '30' was though?
