Miniature golf is so fun. 
 Are you all playing by the rules?
Are you playing at all? 
Weighing the pumpkins 
 Which one shall we choose
Lilly found the one she wanted

 Constitution Day at UMPI

The University of Maine at Presque Isle will celebrate the 226th birthday of the signing of the U.S. Constitution with a unique "Living History" lecture delivered by Dr. Brent Andersen, an assistant professor of political science (adjunct) at the University.

Dr. Andersen will portray Alexander Hamilton, an aide to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War and later one of the principal architects of the U.S. Constitution. Dressed as Hamilton, Dr. Andersen will explain how colonial discontent with Great Britain led to the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. He will detail how hard lessons in self-governance learned during and after that war led directly to the 1787 convention in Philadelphia, where the U.S. Constitution was drafted. He will also discuss his service with George Washington during the Revolutionary War, and how this informed his thinking about the Constitution. After the prepared lecture, the audience will be invited to ask questions, which Dr. Andersen will answer as Hamilton.
