Thanks very much, Kate! I come from a town in New Jersey that
celebrated its 300th birthday in 1963. We thought it was a big deal,
but the towns of Europe certainly dwarf that.
Come to think of it, what a nice celebration we could have had if we
had staged an event in the clothing styles of 1663. I wish period
reenacting had been a "thing" back then....
