I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

E. M. Viquesney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest Moore Viquesney (August 5, 1876 – October 4, 1946) was an American sculptor best known for his very popular World War I monument Spirit of the American Doughboy. The sculpture was installed in front of many American city halls and courthouses and in public parks and cemeteries in the years 1920 through 1940; the exact number may never be determined, but there are approximately 140 extant today, in 38 different states. A total of 153 are listed in the SIRIS database, though some have been destroyed by weather, accidents, or vandalism.
Viquesney also produced at least one World War II monument, "Spirit of the American Yank" and various other World War I memorials including "Spirit of the American Navy".
He was born in Spencer, Indiana, lived there most of his life and is buried at Riverside Cemetery in the town.
- Wikipedia Description: Emmitsburg, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmitsburg was founded in 1785 and is in Frederick County, Maryland, just south of the Mason-Dixon line separating Maryland from Pennsylvania.
Emmitsburg was the site the Union had originally fortified to stop the Confederate invasion of the North in June 1863. Half the town was burned to the ground in a mysterious fire on the night of June 23. Folklore has it that 'The Great Fire', as it was known, was started by a Union sympathizer to prevent advancing Confederates from taking supplies from the town. However fate spared the town a battle - which took place 12 miles north of it in the adjoining town of Gettysburg. The town was briefly held by the retreating Confederates on July 4th.
Emmitsburg's population was 2,290 at the 2000 census. It is the home of Mount St. Mary's University. The National Emergency Training Center is also located in Emmitsburg on the former campus of St. Joseph's College.
The current mayor of Emmitsburg is James E. "Jim" Hoover. The town's newspaper is The Emmitsburg Dispatch.
