Things are starting to take shape for the September Prall Reunion. The Hampton Inn in Flemington, NJ will be our "home base." We will probably visit the Old Stone House in Brooklyn near where the Maryland 400 made their stand against the British, while the rest of the Continental Army escaped Long Island. We are set to visit Historic Richmond Town and the Billiou-Perrine House. I'm working on a river cruise for Sunday.
In honor of Flag Day and the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812: If you are in the Baltimore area, take time to visit Fort McHenry. That's where Francis Scott Key penned a little poem about the siege of the fort that became our National Anthem. I visited the historic site back in 2003, I believe.The video presentation was interesting, but the finale was incredible. As the Anthem was played at the end of the video, everyone stood up and the curtain opened with a view of the replica flag. Moving doesn't do it justice!
