Great Falls: Let Students Observe Veterans Day
Letter to the Editor
I did notice that Feb. 6, 2017 is a student holiday though. Is Feb. 6, 2017 a Student Holiday because the Super Bowl is the day before on Feb. 5, 2017?? Coincidental? I hope so.

Alexandria Living Legends: Their Leadership Preserved Gadsby’s Tavern

The buildings were prominent in the 18th century as a meeting place for patriots of the revolution, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Each of the first five presidents of the United States was entertained there.
