Aww thanks! But as much as I'd like to say out was my idea, brother, I'm just in the distribution department :cool2: smarter folks than me are where the great ideas come from :1luvu
At the Nov 6th Somers, CT event a shooter mentioned a woman's story and we were able to work it in at the end of the event.
Anna Smith Strong, involved with Washington's spy ring, would use her clothes line to send signals. Her involvement was not known until a cache of letters was discovered in the 1920s.

"By counting the number of white handkerchiefs scattered through her wash, Woodhull knew in which of six coves Brewster hid his boat. Under cover of darkness, Woodhull then rendezvoused with Brewster and passed along the secret messages. Brewster and his men then crossed Long Island Sound to Connecticut and passed the information to Tallmadge who passed it on to Washington's headquarters in Westchester County, New York."
Brett, congratulations on your rifleman patch, and thank you for your contribution to Appleseed's mission!

We'll
definitely put her on our list of women to honor for the next Women's History Month! Thanks Berg :) Folks like you help keep the content as fresh as possible. I'm expecting we'll have all new stories for this coming March, and this helps ensure the realization of that goal!
The Women's History Month series tradition continues for 2022! Please see the original post for this year's links :1luvu
Hello 300Berg!
We are looking for stories for our Women's History Month. Would you care to submit a story about Anna Smith Strong?? I am think about submitting a story about her, but wanted to give you the opportunity first.
Let me know -- we are up against a pretty tight suspense.
Here we are, still rocking Women's History Month three years later! :partytime:
