    Great work... I actually participated in a raising of the flag at Fort McHenry ... what a infusion of patriotism.

    I love the pic of the first printed Star Spangled Banner. Very nice addition.

    There is a beautiful acapella version sung at the end of the film shown in the visitor center at Ft. McHenry sung perhaps by a military group. I wish I knew who sung it. It is the most beautiful rendition I have heard.

    Believe it or not I'm related to Francis Scott Key...
    His daughter Mary Alicia Lloyd Key married Reverend Nevins.

    Key, Francis Scott (1779-1843)

    While in Annapolis he fell in love with one of the belles of the town, Mary Tayloe Lloyd (1784-1859) of the Lloyds of Wye House. She was the granddaughter of Edward Lloyd, royal governor of the Maryland colony in the second decade of the eighteenth century and sister to Edward Lloyd V, thirteenth governor of the Maryland colony. The two were married in Annapolis on January 9, 1802. Together they had eleven children, including Elizabeth Phoebe (1803-1897), Maria Lloyd (1805-1897), Francis Scott (1806-1866), John Ross (1809-1837), Anna Arnold (1811-1884), Edward Lloyd (1813-1822), Daniel Murray (1816-1836), Phillip Barton Key (1818-1859), Ellen Lloyd (1823-1884), Mary Alicia Lloyd Nevins (1823-1886) and Charles Henry (1827-1869).

    Mary Alicia Lloyd NEVINS... believe it or not.. it's so true!!!

    I have traced back to John Key and Martha Tandy...my Uncle believes we are related, but I haven't found the connection. Could you e-mail me if you have something to help.
    Thank you, Rebecca - email: rendfield@yahoo.com

    Garner Rix came from the 1780's to check out your lens. He enjoyed it so much that he is sending you a virtual cup of coffee to hang on your wall.
