" Back in the late 1980's I transferred back to Minute Man National Historical Park. I had been a district supervisor in Boston NHP's Charlestown district but wanted to get out of the city. One of my first projects at MMNHP was the newly restored Captain William Smith House. The building had just finished being restored to its mid eighteenth century appearance and I was to set up weekend interpretive programs around the house and property.

Tango, perhaps in the future you could give credit to the blog post or owner of the blog. I think it would be polite to thank the blog or credit it in some way.

I give credit (as always) mentioning the original link… the first pharagraph is a exactly copy of the original to guide about the theme… if your prefer: "Nice!"… no problem with that…


John… John… what agenda you bring back?….

Is that a problem?

Good idea John. Perhaps Tango could say, "here is something from the blog or my good friend Mark"

If the quotation marks are also of no use to identify the copy of a text … and certain people interpret after so much time and thousands of threads that I would be adjudging someone else's work … I stay with: Nice! or Good! and ready the chicken …
