Hi Harold - great to hear from you!

I will check out that journal article....I was dead wrong with Moody's shop. 
I thought is was on Francis Street just north of where Providence Hall is 
now. Is there much more information about Moody's operation there...and is 
that the site of the Public Carpenter's Shop? I love the reference to the 
men dragging the cannons from Moody's shop to fire off a salute in front of 
the Raleigh in honor of Washington's Birthday. (And I would love to re-enact 
that confrontation FOR Washington's birthday.)

Cheers, Garland
