I have decided that I have so much going on at this website, that I should
provide some sort of help for people who can't find stuff on the Internet.... I'm going to dedicate this page to DELAWARE. Today is Thursday, January 12, 2006, and I'm starting this page
with one link. There will be many more links later.

I am a native of Delaware, and as such I'd like to contribute something here for
everyone from Delaware that can be useful. As a "public service" the information that I'm going to place here will be dedicated
to helping people from Delaware find important services, and help....
Adopted on July 24, 1913, the Delaware state flag has a background of colonial
blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state is placed. Below the diamond are the words
"December 7, 1787," indicating the day on which Delaware was the first state to ratify the United States constitution. Because
of this action, Delaware became the first state in the Union, and is, therefore, accorded the first position
in such national events as presidential inaugurations. According to members of the original commission established to design
the flag, the shades of buff and colonial blue represent those of the uniform of General George Washington. Inside the diamond,
the flag recognizes the importance of commerce {the ship} and agriculture {wheat, corn, the ox and the farmer} to the state.
Tribute is also paid to the Revolutionary War Soldiers. The words in the banner read "Liberty and Independence."
An abbreviated History or "timeline" of events that occurred in DELAWARE:

Bay, and became the first European to visit the area

(1638) Dutch settlers on two ships, led by Peter Minit, arrive in the Wilmington area, naming it Christina
(1655) The Governor of New York, Peter Stuyvesant, along with a large fleet, capture all of New Sweden, thus ending
Swedish rule in the colonies
(1682) William Penn, the new owner of both Delaware and Pennsylvania, sails up the Delaware River on his way to
Philadelphia

(1776) Caesar Rodney, suffering from cancer, makes his famous ride from Wilmington to Philadelphia on horseback,
and casts the deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence

in its posh new chambers on Jan. 9 was give Jason Grygo the go-ahead to open an indoor skate park called Gyro's on the western
