Roy Shlemon led the group of 21 participants with the Pledge of Allegiance to Old Glory.
Pres. George furnished an interesting bit of trivia regarding our U.S. paper currency: Andrew Jackson is currently on our $20 bill, to be replaced with Harriet Tubman, political activist, and abolitionist before and during the Civil War, who escaped slavery and conducted the Underground Railroad helping to free 300 slaves…. Faces on the following denominations: $2- Thomas Jefferson; $50- Ulysses S. Grant; $100- Ben Franklin; $500- Wm. McKinley; $1,000- Grover Cleveland; $5,000- James Madison; $10,000- Salmon Chase. Ed. Note: All of the high-denomination bills were last printed in 1945 and were officially discontinued in 1969 by the Federal Reserve due to lack of use.
