Wow! Y'all have tons of apples! All of ours froze when they were just blooms this spring/summer. We only had like two apples in our entire orchard here at Kivu.
Fun stuff! Loved seeing the Tecumseh sign--there's a Tecumseh statue at the Naval Academy in Annapolis--rich in history and tradition with the Midshipmen. "Tecumseh has become not only the "God of 2.0" -- the passing grade point average at the academy -- but also the idol to whom loyal midshipmen give prayers and sacrificial offerings of pennies. Midshipmen offer a left-handed salute in tribute to Tecumseh, and they toss pennies his way for good luck in exams and athletic contests. Each year, Tecumseh is decked out in a coat of "war paint" for Parents' Weekend in August, Homecoming in the fall, before Army-Navy contests and for Commissioning Week." http://www.usna.edu/PAO/facts/faqtecumseh.htm
