I would guess that even a pig farmer from the US would have found Halifax
to
be as G. Washington described.

I doubt that much has changed....evidence: Don White


Now there you go again....... I've let you build up the score to make you
feel more manly, but without someone slapping you back down, you're getting
out of control.

Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston
Snop Corps.

Didn't say Washington was a lace hanky guy...I was referring to the
'loyalists' who left with the British evacuation of Boston, but found life
here a bit too rough. Most loyalists did quite well...swelling the
population of Nova Scotia to the point where the province was split in two.
The western side was named New Brunswick. The ancestors on my maternal
grandmothers side were loyalists from New York.

Cleveland is also the home of the late, great Jacob Saperstein......
The only Saperstein who rings a bell with me is Abe Saperstein, the
sportsman and founder of the Globetrotters. But Abe was a Brit...
As for Cleveland, I've been there. It used to have a first-class
symphony orchestra.

Yep, we've all heard of Abe Saperstein. Jacob Saperstein was the founder
of American Greetings Corp. I met him on 2 occasions. He was almost
100 years old at the time.
