Not to change the subject, BUT 
Mary "Ball" Washington is a Huguenot relative of mine. Balls and Chinns' are
first Cousins. Related to the Reneau's of Rochelle, France and the French
running us out of France along with the Crockett's and the others. 
Does this make me an honorary Virginian?

title is catchy but it is otherwise a waste of pulp. Just my opinion of

Washington Museum & Library committee as a possible purchase. That is a
pretty diverse group of people and they were unanimous in their opinion: NO.
