Mujoy Hill resident Leigh Donaldson was on a windjamming sail last
September, sailing up the coast on the Grace Bailey schooner out of
Camden, Maine, when he took advantage of this break to catch up
on the news back in the city. The Grace Bailey was built in 1882 and
restored in 1990. It is listed as a National Landmark, and is 123 feet
in length. This is the same ship that sailed to the West Indies in the
fruit trade, and carried granite to New York City to help build Grand
Central Station.

Jack Woods was so engrossed in his vintage edition of the
West End NEWS at the Richard Nixon Presidential and
Memorial Library in Yorba Linda, California, that he never
noticed the two familiar-looking guys behind him.
Of all the requests made each year to the National Archives
for reproductions of photographs and documents, one item
has been requested more than any other. That item, more
requested than the Bill of Rights or even the Constitution of
the United States, is the photograph of Elvis Presley and
Richard M. Nixon shaking hands on the occasion of Presley's
visit to the White House on December 21, 1970.
