Wow. It never hurts to be corected by an expert! If you and your most
charming spouse and brood will visist us in Richmond, well, I promise not
to ask for an oboe solo! We can dine al fresco at Coppola's or indoors at
the Tobacco Company, as you guys wish -- and, yes, the Tobacco Company DOES
have a non-smoking section.
Just for yucks, we can visit St John's Epscopal Church, formerly the
Henrico Parish Church, where Patrick Henry stated, "I know not what course
others may take but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" His
earlier regicide rants were all made in Williamsburg, but this one is
authentic Richmond.
