I know...The Mansion built by R J Reynolds. really. I know this was not the subject of this post but one has to pause, did R J Reynolds really swing a hammer? The architect designed the edifice and back then skilled tradesmen had a hand in the construction no doubt. Now the money , the money R.J. used --where did that come from... oh yes, the cigarette smokers of your fair state and throughout the country. Smokers, many puffing away on unfiltered smokes. Sure Native Americans introduced Sir Walter Raliegh to tobacco but these peoples were not chain smokers??. We have all heard about the peace pipe.. really how often did they Use that Thing??? If one extrapolates from the chapters of history er Not Very Often LOL. I hope those students learned something from that trip. It would be interesting to read an essay from some of them recounting the events. Also , has the trip been an annual trip for the following classes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
