Frederick

Today it was rainy all day, not thunderstorm raining, just steady Seattle and Portland rain. So I didn't take any phone pictures because they turn out dark. This light post picture surprised me the other day because you can tell it has been there a while. It says "Abraham Lincoln, Our Friend and Liberator" Frederick Douglass, April 14, 1876 .

This plaque is eye level and just at the top of the block from the entrance to the Ford's Theatre. We have been in our new office location for two years now and I just noticed the picture as I went to a meeting on Tuesday this week. I must have passed it 20 times over the past 2 years, but I guess the light turned red and I had to pause and look around.

Since I was in the Frederick Office this afternoon and then stayed to hear an Ambassador speak at the Frederick Community College, I figured I'd share the Frederick connection. It is even spelled the same way.
