Here's to us and those like us,
Damn few and most of them are dead!

P1M, when I was across last September, I was fortunate enough to see the exhibit at Parly. The Declaration of Arbroath, the Ayr Manuscript and the Lubeck Letter were all there.

The Declaration of Arbroath was quite a sight to behold. And to think it was older than our Declaration of Idependence is today, when our Declaration was signed is amazing.
