Founding Father

We've had the following founding father staying at our house the past week:



It's the fellow on the right; his name is Sir Robert Livingston, a delegate from New York.

If you're wondering why DEl is wearing a wig and going by an alias, it's because he's a cast member of '1776'.  The show opened one week ago and will continue to run through the end of the week, with a matinee performance on Saturday.  If you get a chance, you should really and come see it; there are some incredibly talented actors, and the production offers insights to the history surrounding the creation of the Declaration of Independence.  I went for the third time this evening; the show just gets better and better every time I see it, and I've certainly gained a deeper appreciation for what our founding fathers endured to help grant freedom to our nation.

So here's to you, Mr. Livingston!
Founding fathers Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Edward Rutledge

Funny how the way of dress changes over the years. If you wore that stuff out in public people would probably really wonder about you. I'm sure Del was great in the production.
