cleaned up his tombstone two weeks ago, and put a bunch of flowers around
it.
It's been a bad year for
Alexander, what with all this talk of replacing him on the Ten Dollar bill

A lot of people don't

become president.
But he was the
"Father of America's Financial Institutions".
So
let's hear it for Alexander, still the best looking guy on any American
currency!

I always thought the guy was a little loopy for agreeing to the duel
with Aaron Burr to begin with. But today I found out his son also
died in a duel years earlier with someone else; very proud family.
