Your welcome August. So did you get a day off?

On a side note, too bad Jim and Steed didn't make it to the last subsim meeting. We were going to have a special ceremony for you.

Quote:
The 11-month siege of Boston ended when the Continental Army, under the command of George Washington, fortified Dorchester Heights in early March 1776 with cannonscaptured at Ticonderoga. British General William Howe, whose garrison and navy were threatened by these positions, was forced to decide between attack and retreat. To prevent what could have been a repeat of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Howe decided to retreat, withdrawing from Boston to Nova Scotia on March 17.
And McBee's fought in that Battle.

We checked it out at the last meet (a quick hike to Bunker Hill)
