According to Wikipedia: “Charles King (October 12, 1844 in Albany, New York – 17 March 1933 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was a United States soldier and a distinguished writer. King was the son of Civil War general Rufus King, grandson of Columbia University president Charles King, and great grandson of Rufus King, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He graduated from West Point in 1866 and served in the Army during the Indian Wars under George Crook. He was wounded in the arm forcing his retirement from the regular army. During this time he became acquainted with Buffalo Bill Cody. King would later write scripts for several of Cody’s silents films…. In 1898, he was appointed brigadier general of volunteers and sailed to the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. The fighting with Spain was over by the time he arrived, but he assisted in the surrender negotiations. During the following Philippine-American War, King was placed in command of the 1st Brigade in Henry W. Lawton’s division. He led his brigade during the Battle of Manila and sailed for Santa Cruz with Lawton’s division. He was incapacitated by sickness during the Battle of Santa Cruz, but he returned to fight in the following Battle of Pagsanjan. He took part in the final major campaigns before the fighting turned primarily to guerilla warfare. He returned to the United States and was active in the Wisconsin National Guard and in training troops for World War I. He wrote and edited over 60 books and novels. Among his list of titles are Campaigning with Crook, Fort Frayne, Under Fire and Daughter of the Sioux.”

Dying is just like taxes in the respect that it is going to happen to you and me. Over history, we realize it doesn’t matter who you are, you are going to face death. Famous people have no secret weapon against death. They are just like you and I. They will die. We will die. Death is a part of life. However, many of us look forward to eternal life in Heaven. After we all pass from this world, I hope to meet each one of you in a better place called Heaven.
We Live And We Die
Nobody Lives Forever
See You In Heaven

On September 2 we drove out of Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and had a relaxing drive through New Jersey into Upper New York State. We stopped near New Paltz to play a round of golf at the scenic Apple Greens Golf Club and arrived in the late afternoon back in Troy where we checked in at the Olde Judge Mansion for another two nights. After baking in the hot sun for three days we were definitely in need of a good rest. The next day we played some tennis ourselves at one of the many courts in Troy’s Prospect Park. Unfortunately the quality was not quite in the same league as that at the US Open, but at least we got some exercise. In the afternoon we drove across the Hudson River to Albany to meet our friends Keith and Mary for lunch. We found a nice little restaurant called Justin’s on Lark Street, a popular entertainment area with numerous restaurants and bars. Then my husband went off shopping while I started my photo tour around Albany, starting with the French chateau-like SUNY building on State Street. I walked uphill towards Albany’s downtown. Unfortunately, many of Albany’s historic buildings were destroyed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 1970s, but some gems remain. I admired the Albany City Hall, the New York State Capitol, the neoclassical Department of Education and the Governor Alfred E. Smith State Office Building, an Art Deco masterpiece.
