Glinsk Castle, Ireland

Glinsk Castle was built by Ulick Burke in the early 17th century on the site of an earlier castle in County Galway.  It is an impressive remnant of the architectural style of the Norman era. The castle is an important example of the transformation from castles to houses. Its plan is unique in Ireland and it was one of the last castles to be built in in Ireland, if not the last.

When found in a bog in Newburgh, New York, the Warren mastodon was still in the position in which it had died some 11,000 years ago: standing upright with its legs thrust forward and its head tilted upward, apparently gasping for air.

The fossil was discovered in 1845 by a crew digging for peat fuel. Every bone in this mastodon skeleton is real. It was the first complete American mastodon skeleton found in the United States and is still one of the most complete mastodon skeletons known.

“I have come home to Michigan to share with you my views of America in 1976 and my hopes for America in the next four years, and beyond.”

President Ford kicked off his general election campaign on September 15, 1976, delivering a speech at Crisler Arena on the campus of his alma mater, the University of Michigan. In his remarks he outlined his plans related to jobs, home ownership, health care, education, crime prevention, and foreign policy.

“It is not enough for anyone to say ‘trust me.’ Trust must be earned,” he told the crowd in Ann Arbor. “Trust is leveling with the people before the election about what you are going to do after the election…Trust is not cleverly shading words so that each separate audience can hear what it wants to hear, but saying plainly and simply what you mean – and meaning what you say.”
