They'er Here

Lines of men, women, and children circled city blocks in the largest cities in European and American countries.  Frowns of awe were on their faces as they looked at her wherever they displayed her body.  "But she was in the prime of life, so lovely -- how could she just die?" was the gist of one view of death.

Now some people -- once thought to be dead -- are known by many to be thousands of years old.  And mentioning what these people are still doing  will be more proof of their age than meeting them.  We see one each time we breath or look in a mirror or think of a relative.

In the Americas, Columbus made us possible; Presidents Washingtion and Lincoln, and those who wrote the Constitution of the United States kept us -- and keep us -- going.  Thanks, guys.
