Happy 4th of July

Wishing you all a very happy and safe 4th of July!

If you have time to spare, you can dig into the archives here. They are rather extensive. There are multiple posts for almost every day going back to 2008. Pick a date. Navigate through the archives by year and month to see what was happening.

Franklin Matters archives go back almost every day through to 2008

A very special thanks to Renata Gilrova for her collaboration on the weekly calendar!

Let me remind you that 
  • If you like what we are doing here, please tell your friends and neighbors
  • If you don’t like something, please tell me

Thank you for reading, commenting, and sharing information. I could not do this without you. It is through our combined efforts that Franklin will become a more informed community.



Note: I am 'off the grid' for a few days and hopefully nothing really major happens while I am away. If it does, I'll find out and respond when I return.
