Honored that the Georgia Historical Society invited me to join you. There is really no place i would rather be on the summer night than in this lovely southern town. Although i now live in california, i grew up in georgia. It is wonderful being back. Seeing old friends, many old friends. , southernersw ones are warm and embracing. Dear, the south is a golden place. , there is al know darker side. In ind locked doors almost every southern town so that has been hidden. 100 years ago tonight, a stones throw from where we are gathered , the best men of marietta were sentence on ast damnable plot. They thought they were carrying out justice, but nothing about their actions would be to that. They wouldnt lynch a man, possibly innocent. They would traumatize a generation of american jews. Particularly atlanta jews. Sowed pain and misunderstanding across the country. Marietta. Came from their names adorn street signs, public buildings, monuments, not just in this town, but across georgia. Toni
Wow i dont know if tts anywhere near where you what you paid for it. Thats quite a bit higher. Okay, good. The last one that sold locally sold for 1,500. So if it were in better condition, and didnt have some of the marks, i think wed actually be looking at something more along the lines of 2,200, 2,500. So it has a lot of things going for it. Not the least of which is the fact that its a nice ship, and its local. Continue to enjoy this. Hang it in a place of prominence. Thank you for coming to chesapeake collectibles today.

So i asked skippers on the ships, or the mates, could i have a cup to take home . And they all said, yes. You drank at leas
