Crane & Co makes the paper for our currency and maybe 65 countries around the world. It was a delight to take in history. As I have been an enthusiast of money for decades, having a refresher by two long time employees made visiting Crane special. Ir is interesting to learn of the nuances of paper making. The museum opened at 1:00 PM giving me a chance to first visit the Dalton public library.
I liked learning about the crispness features of new currency. By doing my homework last night I learned more. Money has always been my favorite form of paper.
The trip was about 73 miles each way. I employed my GPS and am getting better at it. It is amazing.. gives me shortcuts and allows me to smell the roses along the way. I thought observing the farmers bailing hay was a treat only to find Josh & Heidi's fields were being bailed.
The day was sky-blue, the breeze gentle and a day to remember. When I arrived in West Brookfield my nre book about the use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War was waiting me. The headline also mentions the Induction of Unfit Men, Criminals, and Misfits. I did see my new friend Judy at the Post Office as I headed west.
The weeks looks great as we head towards Fathers' Day.
