It seems that more than 200 years after
his death, Library Company Founder Benjamin Franklin still captures the
imagination of the ladies—or the girls anyway. Shortly after his January 17
birthday this year, we received a heartfelt and hand-drawn card from Lily West
of Portland Oregon.
Lily writes that Ben Franklin is “by FAR”
her and her father’s favorite Founding Father. Her card is illustrated with
pictures of some of Franklin’s most notable inventions and associations, including
the lightning rod, bifocals, paper money, and postage stamps. The budding
historian is pictured below in a Library Company T-shirt.
