    Actually, Im descendant of Puritan New Englanders (my great grandmother was a very religious woman Lay Leader in Colorado)... Actually, she descendent of people like Edward Wightman (the last radical protestant burnt in stake)... His sons moved to New England .. Whom ideas related to Jewish Theology as we know... There is an association... My father wanted to circunise me for religious issues (my mother's family negated but he expressed that "just in case" (to save the soul?))... Interesting video! Thanks!

      True story... Puritans werent fond of jews but they talked a lot of jewish history and theology and culture... In massachusetts I think many of the first puritan colonies spoke and wrote in hebrew the bible (old testament)... Actually, the fear of catholics is a true fact (I expressed It in my family history above)

We have had a few Colby family reunions there over the years. Colby’s from all over the country come. It’s really nice. I love seeing my long time ancestors belongings and seeing how they lived and looked.

    SHAME ON THIS VIDEO for not giving the proper credit to Gustave Whitehead who flew before the WRONG BROTHERS, and Whitehead flew in 1901 with over TEN EYEWITNESSES WHO SIGNED AFFIDAVITS THAT THEY SAW WHITEHEAD FLY IN BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT IN 1901. He may have even flown earlier in 1899.!!!

    Where is the credit to Gustave Whitehead who flew in 1901 in Bridgeport Connecticut to multiple eyewitnesses who signed affidavits? Another inconvenient truth? The replicas flew in Connecticut and in Europe near the museum to Whiteheads honor. There are photos of Whitehead in the air in his plane, Jane's Aviation credits Whitehead with his achievements, I even spoke to the Whitehead family who still live in Connecticut, and the Park Rangers at Kitty Hawk when I spoke to them privately told me they knew Whitehead flew before the Wright Brothers in a controlled, flight and Whitehead may have even flown as early as 1899.

The bible heavily influenced Rogers. These numbskulls always try to remove Jesus and God from human actions when they want to exemplify humans. When they want to blame God they remove human failings. Sorry. Fred Rogers was teaching Christianity and the lessons that Christ taught. Deal with it.

    Also, I was able to finally find the lovely tune that is used with the opening credits; "Sheep May Safely Graze", J.S. Back BWV 208. Also, an update on the Restoration; the Ludowici Tile Company of New Lexington, OH, has completed the replacement and repair of the roof and with the type of terra cotta multicolored curved tiles that were first installed by that same company in 1909 (they lasted to about 1950 when slate was then put in). The Ibis finial was restored and raised 9' off the roof as it was initially before various thefts by the Harvard Crimson damaged it enough to only be a few feet off the base of the helmed tower basket. The masons also repointed all the failing mortar and repaired all the exterior bricks needing help so as to mitigate further water damage. The whole effect is that the Castle looks like it predates the oldest buildings of the College (Massachusetts Hall 1720) by a whole 100-150 years! As if the Castle was minding its own business along divergent dirt paths (Mount Auburn Street and Bow Street) in a bucolic meadow when all of a sudden, the Massachusetts Bay Colony gang up and erects all these new buildings causing noise and blocking views. Are there any historical photos in your extensive archive that actually shows the CONSTRUCTION of the Castle 1909-1910?
