Congress and that early period in the development of our country. We have been fortunate to have chuck as part of the uscs society team for five years, prior to that he was 27 years working on the First Congress program. And so he has put together a very imaginative presentation using primary sources, letters of the times, where people wrote to one another about the science, the food, the culture, and the back and forth that made early days in washington. That being said, we invite you to stay with us for your questions and answers. Chuck will do his presentation, and i will work through the questions and we have a couple of questions, we may be able to do a couple of questions during the presentation but the majority of our questions will be at the conclusion of the presentation. So please put your questions in and ill try to work them through both at the end and as we move forward. Thank you very much, chuck, for the work youve done to put this together and welcome to the platform. W
