THE HISTORY OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
The lyrics come from a poem written in 1814 by Francis scott Key, a 35 year-old amateur poet who wrote "Defence of Fort McHenry" after seeing the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland, by Royal Navy Ships in Chesapeake Bay during the war of 1812.
Eloise's quote
"I'm not strong. She's not strong. But together my friend and I make the strongest force in the known universe."
- Linda MacFarlane
My commitment is to always give my personal attention to your concerns, comments and requests.

DAPHNE'S QUOTE
"The telephone & cell phone are the greatest instruments of aggression since the longbow. It is a baseball through a window, a tank crashing into your foyer. We permit violations of privacy by telephone that we would never dream of permitting by other means. Instead, it is considered rude not to respond slavishly to the immediate demands of the phone. Hiding behind an answering machine and pretending to be out is thought to be bad form, a violation of democratic norms, as if anyone capable of punching seven digits in sequence merits your urgent attention.".
- Charles Krauthammer
