\n
Bromley <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
library <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
have <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
timeline <\/p>\n
on <\/p>\n
display <\/p>\n
through <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
years <\/p>\n
1792 <\/p>\n
through <\/p>\n
1812, <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
hand <\/p>\n
embroidered <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
by <\/p>\n
Driscall’s <\/p>\n
mother, <\/p>\n
Anna <\/p>\n
Dubois <\/p>\n
Irwin, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
display <\/p>\n
case <\/p>\n
filled <\/p>\n
with <\/p>\n
historical <\/p>\n
pieces <\/p>\n
including <\/p>\n
those <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Jeffersonian. <\/p>\n
\n
“In <\/p>\n
addition, <\/p>\n
beginning <\/p>\n
today, <\/p>\n
July <\/p>\n
1, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Greene <\/p>\n
Post <\/p>\n
Office <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
offering <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
pictorial <\/p>\n
postmark <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
Greene’s <\/p>\n
namesake, <\/p>\n
Nathanial <\/p>\n
Greene,” <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
Bromley. <\/p>\n
\n
“Four <\/p>\n
different <\/p>\n
commemorative <\/p>\n
envelopes <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
offered <\/p>\n
at <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
window <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
$2 <\/p>\n
each, <\/p>\n
or <\/p>\n
you <\/p>\n
can <\/p>\n
bring <\/p>\n
your <\/p>\n
own,” <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
said. <\/p>\n
“The <\/p>\n
pictorial <\/p>\n
postmark <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
very <\/p>\n
important <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
popular <\/p>\n
amongst <\/p>\n
collectors.” <\/p>\n
\n
Stamp <\/p>\n
collectors <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
love <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
pictorial <\/p>\n
postmarks <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
noted <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
stamp <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
new, <\/p>\n
so <\/p>\n
this <\/p>\n
pictorial <\/p>\n
postmark <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
special <\/p>\n
event <\/p>\n
Bromley <\/p>\n
explained. <\/p>\n
\n
“Some <\/p>\n
people <\/p>\n
that <\/p>\n
collect <\/p>\n
stamps <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
all <\/p>\n
over <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
world <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
sending <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
their <\/p>\n
packages <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
post <\/p>\n
office <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
get <\/p>\n
them <\/p>\n
stamped,” <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
House. <\/p>\n
\n
“There <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
an <\/p>\n
additional <\/p>\n
29 <\/p>\n
days <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
stamps <\/p>\n
but <\/p>\n
once <\/p>\n
it’s <\/p>\n
over, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
stamp <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
marred, <\/p>\n
never <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
used <\/p>\n
again <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
go <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
next <\/p>\n
time <\/p>\n
capsule <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
buried,” <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
added. <\/p>\n
\n
House <\/p>\n
continued, <\/p>\n
explaining <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
celebration <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Moore <\/p>\n
Memorial <\/p>\n
Library, <\/p>\n
where <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
created <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
timeline <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
show <\/p>\n
how <\/p>\n
it <\/p>\n
all <\/p>\n
started <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
Greene. <\/p>\n

of <\/p>\n
20 <\/p>\n
years <\/p>\n
from1792 <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
1812 <\/p>\n

said <\/p>\n
some <\/p>\n

more <\/p>\n
panels <\/p>\n
than <\/p>\n
others.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
She <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
panels <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
include <\/p>\n
Stephen <\/p>\n
Ketchum, <\/p>\n
who <\/p>\n
settled <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
Greene <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
built <\/p>\n
his <\/p>\n

in <\/p>\n

after <\/p>\n
General <\/p>\n
Nathaniel <\/p>\n
Greene <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
1842. <\/p>\n
\n
Additional <\/p>\n

will <\/p>\n
include <\/p>\n
Joseph <\/p>\n
Juliand, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
French <\/p>\n
settler <\/p>\n
who <\/p>\n
built <\/p>\n
his <\/p>\n
house <\/p>\n
on <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
knoll <\/p>\n
outside <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
Greene, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Wattles <\/p>\n

which <\/p>\n

one <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
only <\/p>\n
two <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
United <\/p>\n
States. <\/p>\n
\n
“Najarian <\/p>\n
made <\/p>\n
ribbons <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
hats <\/p>\n
around <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
world <\/p>\n
including <\/p>\n
Stetson <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
other <\/p>\n
big <\/p>\n
companies,” <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
said. <\/p>\n
“He <\/p>\n
also <\/p>\n
made <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
webbing <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
bombs <\/p>\n
during <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
war <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n

Godiva <\/p>\n
Chocolates, <\/p>\n
Buster <\/p>\n
Brown <\/p>\n
Shoes, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
Fed <\/p>\n

\n
Bromley <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
showcase <\/p>\n
near <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
library <\/p>\n
check-out <\/p>\n
counter <\/p>\n
holds <\/p>\n
cup <\/p>\n
plates, <\/p>\n
otherwise <\/p>\n
known <\/p>\n
as <\/p>\n
Pairpoints, <\/p>\n
ornaments, <\/p>\n
miniature <\/p>\n
embroidered <\/p>\n
patriots <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Monticello <\/p>\n
Shop, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Declaration <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
Independence <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
more. <\/p>\n
\n
She <\/p>\n
also <\/p>\n
pointed <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
hand <\/p>\n
embroidered <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
that <\/p>\n
tells <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
tale <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
50 <\/p>\n
states. <\/p>\n
Each <\/p>\n
panel <\/p>\n
shows <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
state <\/p>\n
shape, <\/p>\n
capitol, <\/p>\n
flower <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
bird. <\/p>\n
The <\/p>\n
individual <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
pieces <\/p>\n
were <\/p>\n
laid <\/p>\n
out <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
order <\/p>\n
they <\/p>\n
became <\/p>\n
states. <\/p>\n
\n
Bromley <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
when <\/p>\n
they <\/p>\n
first <\/p>\n
hung <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
quilt, <\/p>\n
visitors <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
library <\/p>\n
were <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
amazement, <\/p>\n
not <\/p>\n
just <\/p>\n
by <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
large <\/p>\n
size, <\/p>\n
but <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
details <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
every <\/p>\n
state. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Driscall <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
her <\/p>\n
mom <\/p>\n
was <\/p>\n
very <\/p>\n
patriotic <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
loved <\/p>\n
America <\/p>\n
with <\/p>\n
all <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
her <\/p>\n
heart. <\/p>\n
She <\/p>\n
worked <\/p>\n
on <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
1976 <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
finished <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
1998, <\/p>\n
taking <\/p>\n
22 <\/p>\n
years <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
completion <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
time <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
bicentennial. <\/p>\n
\n
“She <\/p>\n
worked <\/p>\n
relentlessly <\/p>\n
on <\/p>\n
it <\/p>\n
everywhere, <\/p>\n
even <\/p>\n
during <\/p>\n
travels <\/p>\n
across <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
country <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
didn’t <\/p>\n
ever <\/p>\n
use <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
hoop, <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
just <\/p>\n
did <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
individual <\/p>\n
squares <\/p>\n
by <\/p>\n
hand <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
order,” <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
said. <\/p>\n
\n
“My <\/p>\n
mother <\/p>\n
was <\/p>\n
very <\/p>\n
clever <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
always <\/p>\n
did <\/p>\n
hand <\/p>\n
work, <\/p>\n
always,” <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
Driscall. <\/p>\n
“So, <\/p>\n
I <\/p>\n
would <\/p>\n
see <\/p>\n
her <\/p>\n
with <\/p>\n
these <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
different <\/p>\n
places <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
times, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
it <\/p>\n
represents <\/p>\n
how <\/p>\n
hard <\/p>\n
my <\/p>\n
mom <\/p>\n
worked.” <\/p>\n

\n
“She <\/p>\n
took <\/p>\n
great <\/p>\n
pride <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
what <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
did,” <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
added. <\/p>\n
\n
Driscall <\/p>\n
said <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
king <\/p>\n
size <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
fills <\/p>\n
almost <\/p>\n
eight <\/p>\n
feet <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
display <\/p>\n
bar <\/p>\n
adding, <\/p>\n
“The <\/p>\n
green <\/p>\n
floral <\/p>\n
pattern <\/p>\n
bordering <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
was <\/p>\n
chosen <\/p>\n
because <\/p>\n
mother <\/p>\n
loved <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
color <\/p>\n
green.” <\/p>\n
\n
“My <\/p>\n
mother <\/p>\n
always <\/p>\n
had <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
bolster <\/p>\n
pillow, <\/p>\n
so <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
made <\/p>\n
this <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
her <\/p>\n
bed, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
green <\/p>\n
part <\/p>\n
where <\/p>\n
there <\/p>\n
aren’t <\/p>\n
any <\/p>\n
states <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
where <\/p>\n
she <\/p>\n
would <\/p>\n
tuck <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
quilt <\/p>\n
under <\/p>\n
her <\/p>\n
pillow. <\/p>\n
She <\/p>\n
didn’t <\/p>\n
want <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
disturb <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
pattern,” <\/p>\n
Driscall <\/p>\n
explained. <\/p>\n
