Alexander Hamilton To Be Celebrated on His 250th Birthday

Submitted by Maggie Lynn Griggs, Jan 10, 2007 11:25

Without Hammie, I would not have enjoyed a series of good jobs in the securities biz, and thus able to feed myself and others, nor able to make a useful contribution to society, one hopes.

Therefore, tomorrow, with humility and pride, I shall bring a pebble to leave on General Hamilton's grave. I do hope you folks intend to roll The Good Ship Hamilton through the streets of lower Manhattan.

Thanks for keeping him alive in our hearts, minds, and generation-skipping trusts.
