The answer, of course, is Indiana. Home of the Indianapolis 500, birthplace of Mama Brady (Florence Henderson) and Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors), and the home of William Henry Harrison, the president who delivered the longest inaugural speech (and in the rain!), then died thirty-two days later.
The town I live in has ties to both him and George Rogers Clark:
The Harrison House
GRC Memorial and the battlefield. The spouse and I 'power walk' every day up the left side of the walkway, up the steps to the Memorial; one lap around; then up the 19 steps to the very top (where the vertical pillars are; when it's open, people can go inside and see the exhibits); then down the rest of the steps and walk back down the right side of the walkway.
Picture of the top of the Memorial.
"This is all very nice, Kenzie, but who won your contest?"
Okay, okay....enough history. The winner is.......
Tiss!
And I'm giving out another prize, this time to....
Flossie!
She was the first one to mention Wm Henry Harrison:) So shoot me an email also, and thanks for playing everyone!
And come back in December when we have the '5 Favorite Things' hop, which Dawne is putting together.
