In conjunction with a major event at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, the National Park Service and its partners invite communities across the nation
to join in this commemoration. The bells will ring first at Appomattox at 3pm on April 9th. The ringing will coincide with the moment the historic meeting between Grant and Lee in the McLean House at Appomattox Court House ended. While Lee’s surrender did not end the Civil War, the act is seen by most Americans as the symbolic end of four years of bloodshed.After the ringing at Appomattox, bells will reverberate across the country. The First State National Historical Park, in collaboration with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, First State Heritage Park, Lewes Historical Society, and the Old Swedes Foundation, is orchestrating bell-ringing at sites across Delaware.Houses of worship, schools, city halls, public buildings, historic sites, and others are invited to join in the commemoration by ringing their bells at precisely 3:15 p.m. on Thurs., April 9,th. Bells should continue ringing for four minutes (each minute symbolic of a year of war).

Recently a reader asked whatever happened to ‘that mural’ that was in the WSFS lobby on Market Street.Well, ‘that mural’ is N.C. Wyeth’s Apotheosis of the Family. The 19-‐by-‐60 foot stately work of art had adorned the two-‐story lobby since 1932. In 1929, former WSFS Bank President, Frederick E. Stone, commissioned Delaware Valley painter and illustrator, N.C. Wyeth to create a mural for the south wall lobby. The completed masterpiece, was unveiled in 1932.
The mural presently is with Ely Company, which is providing museum quality, climate-‐controlled storage for the artwork. The Delaware Historical Society is working on plans to conserve and possibly exhibit the mural at a yet-‐to-‐be-‐determined date. DHS’s Scott Loehr tells Cobblestones that after a future capital campaign the mural may be ready for public display. A three-‐to-‐fiver-‐year time frame is somewhat realistic. In the scheme of fine art for future generations it’s a short wait. – Teditor

Waiting in Trenton for pilots to call for pickup. They are late. Finally pilot calls:
ME- Hey, you finally made it. Are you still in the plane... should I pull around?PILOT- We're still in the plane, but don't pull around. ME-: ?PILOT- Well, we went by twice but didn't see the airport, so we landed in Philly.Dropped pilot off at hotel. 10 minutes later I hear Gilligan's Island theme coming from back seat. Pilot forgot his phone. Really? Gilligan's Island is your ringtone?

Let’s look back at last week’s DeNorml “Marijuana March” supporting the passage of HB
39. It was a cold and windy afternoon when this small cluster of supporters organized on
the Green and marched through our City streets. The event surprised some of our citizenry
that didn’t know of advanced publicity. Comments from social media and around town included:
This should go in the Guinness Book of World records as the shortest March … thought it was the tail end of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade just waking up ... they were all chanting different stuff, like “End the weed prohibition, Vote for house bill 39 and I want Taco Bell”…They could've all fit in a Fiat 500 and hit the drive through backwards...They could went to taco bell and use soft taco shells to make Cheech n Chong joints. Rumor has it that the town squirrel population cleaned up the trail of Doritos.
