Dear Mr. Tac, I yield to your superior story-telling talents. I am impressed by your knowledge of our patriots.

I'm reminded of a gentleman who was for many years a photographer for the "Baltimore Sun" newspaper, a well respected publication. His name was A. Aubrey Bodine and he was somewhat peculiar in certain respects. He would, on occasion, write to the US government and remind them that they still owed his family compensation for the financial loss suffered when they freed the family slaves! This went on for some years in the early part of the 20th Century. His photographs are known world-wide and in that regard he was a very talented individual.
