Great story about statue, almost<br /> " Twainish". <br /><br /> My favorite Twain quote is "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."sheila lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343041368135209832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-27176295988090410082012-01-26T13:10:47.592-05:002012-01-26T13:10:47.592-05:00He probably would have spun a good tale about bein...He probably would have spun a good tale about being out by the trash!RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-76444645215816469182012-01-26T11:35:19.780-05:002012-01-26T11:35:19.780-05:00I'm so happy to see him where he deserves to b...I'm so happy to see him where he deserves to be!
