Happy Summer from the Jones’, who sent along this snap to let us all know that Kateri’s recovering from her knee surgery really, really fast… (Not really! But even good patients get tired of wheelchairs.) Meanwhile, Mr. Jones sent along a shot of Wildcat Manor, an historical property that’s part of Hunn Nature Park in Kent County, Delaware. Wildcat Manor was the home of the Hunn family, who in 1779 became Quakers and freed the enslaved people on their property. Becoming staunch abolitionists, they set about the work of repair with John Hunn becoming the self-named Chief Engineer of the Delaware Underground Railroad in the mid 19th century. Wildcat Manor is part of the famous Harriet Tubman Byway – and Mr. Jones, whose family tree includes the Hunn family, enjoyed an extended family reunion there on the nation’s 250th birthday. We knew he was from good stock!
Be well, stay hydrated 🫗 and we’ll see you in August!
