Homage to Tecumseh

Happy New Year!  We start the 200th anniversary year of the War of 1812 with a quote from the great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh provided us by our member and volunteer, Liz Grauwelman:

"Give Thanks. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself."

Liz is an active member of both the Warren County Historical Society and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She is a docent at Glendower Historic Mansion where she plays Lucy Boake. She also plays Lucy at our "Lantern Light Cemetery Tours and she is also a Civil War Re-enactor.
