I saw only a portion of the documentary - but I have examples of the postcards printed by the railroad companies to promote travel to the Parks.

I'll have to check it out. It's always interesting to hear good players, even people I'm not very interested in, talk about music. I used to take "Guitar Player" and enjoyed interviews with some heavy metal players and others I'd never listen to in a million years because some of them had insights that were totally new to me.

Adams will be a great addition the Bears DL we can use some help and I bet he's glad to be out of Tampa.

So there is some poetry to be found in that speech! I am glad to have piqued your curiosity. I hadn't been familiar with it until it was part of a school wide writing assignment where I was teaching a few years back. I tear up even when I read some of his work...and almost always when I hear it. I wonder how much of that is grieving the loss of that level of language in the era of the sound bite.
