Apparently George Washington may have actually crossed the Delaware to escape from librarians rather than Hessians. Full story here.

Reading around the world

Written on: April 18th, 2010 in Blog Posts

Via facebook, this recent photo of my awesome friend Lauren, doing something that probably couldn’t be done via iPad or Kindle! She’s reading My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler, at a dig site near Phonsavanh in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. Lauren- I’m pretty sure that this title is not featured on any of the deployment reading lists that I’ve written about in the past.

Lauren is a 92-M Mortuary Affairs Specialist in the US Army, currently serving at the Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii and recently returned from an expedition to locate remains of Vietnam-war era MIA personnel and to return them with all due honor to the families of the fallen.
