Thank you! That is awesome. You are right, it is 'Krick'. Well done. I only had my phone photo when I posted, and I couldn't make out the name. So strange that they mention that Dr. Floyd Keene, who spoke in the afternoon, was unable to make the banquet in the evening. Perhaps Dr. Keene was on call.

Oh wow. He has deep roots in Berks.

...In 1873 he was married to Rebecca Fritz, daughter of Henry G. Fritz, and they have one son, William F., who is now a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. His parents are giving him every possible educational advantage and he has the ambition to profit by the same. Mr. Krick and his family belong to the Reformed Church at Sinking Spring. In politics he is a Democrat.

How excellent.

Digging the fuck out of The Guns of August, by the way. Through sheer bizarre parallelism, we're also taking in the 1st season of Downton Abbey.

Glad to hear it.

Let me know about Downtown Abbey. It looks like it might be our thing.

Downton Abbey is sublime. I can't recommend it enough.

Downton is on of the slowest picked up masterpieces I've seen in a while. It is so well made.
