This is a part of history I need to read more about. Are you from NH? One of my best friends is in Kittery. I used to make frequent trips to New Hampshire when I lived in New England. Such a beautiful state

That's pretty cool. Big move. We did the same thing. Oh, and may I please have your Social Security number and checking account number?

Trump wants very badly to tilt actual history in his favor. Ain't gonna happen!
