"A good conscience is a continual Christmas."

 

-- Benjamin Franklin.

A view through what might have been the structure of Ben Franklin's house.

 

Submitted to Monthly Scavenger Hunt, July 2006, as number 2, "Blue Sky Thinking."

The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.

 

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.

 

The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.

 

Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

Benjamin Franklin

300th anniversary of his birth

1706-2006

Billy Bob Golo was a direct descendant of the Olog-hai created by Sauron. You know, that evil guy in the Lord of the Rings. What that meant was that he wouldn't turn to stone in the daylight. Generally, that's what happens to trolls.

 

Well, Billy Bob's best friend happened to be Dracula the Younger, son of Dracula. You didn't know Dracula had a son? Anyway, Billy Bob and DY always played at night because that's what vampires do. So, Billy Bob always slept during the daylight hours.

 

Well, one night Billy Bob went into town to wait for DY and DY didn't show. Billy Bob fell asleep on a bench and when daylight came, Billy Bob found out he wasn't a descendent of the Olog-hai. True story.
