A Few New Additions!

I added a few new elements today - see picture of Trevian! Some time ago I emailed my NTE class about the origin of the name New Trier, which dated back a couple of centuries to Trier, Germany. I can't remember everything about my research but somehow our little corner of Winnetka, Illinois adopted the name and came up with a "Trevian"- whatever that is. I also added a cartoon which I have always liked about a tortoise and a snail.

I got two responses from classmates who now reside in Texas -remember the Alamo - I think the Trevians were involved in that skirmish. Always good to hear from classmates - 28 years after grad. day.

Looking forward to more responses, and as I get the hang of things I will add/delete and post.

Hate to state the obvious, but YOUR New Trier history pre-dates the TREVIAN!!!!
