I made it thru the rain


I made it thru the rain, originally uploaded by ujima.

April 6, 1909 Matthew Henson became the first man to reach the North Pole.
Henson was an African American explorer,
In 2000, the National Geographic Society posthumously awarded Henson with its highest honor, the Hubbard Medal, for distinction in exploration, discovery and research.
I know you were taught that Admiral Peary was the first, but he was not.
AfricanAmerican History: lost, strayed or stolen?

POURING RAIN then bright sunshine then POURING RAIN and THUNDER on and off. Called Dr. Lenny's & Bobbi came, picked me up & drove me to my appointment. I walked home as the sun had returned.
