Where's our veteran?
It was really cold that day but we wanted to see if the memorial brick for Calvin Williams had finally been placed. And we found it (thankfully) within about 20 seconds. Calvin was a Buffalo Soldier, was stationed at Fort McKavett (after marching hundreds of miles on foot) and settled in Seguin. He was also the grandfather of "Smokey" Joe Williams, who later was an amazing pitcher in the Negro Leagues. Joe was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. I know all this b/c my husband has done extensive research on the Williams family.

Interesting information about the memorial.
I hope the eagle landing on the woman's head didn't ruin her hairdo...
Tks for your greeting to Richmond upon Thames Daily Photo. Keep looking because in the next day or two I'll be posting a series on restoration of a 300 yr old piece that may interest you.
