I just thought it was a perfect fit for Atlanta because of the controversy, because of how much Sherman is still hated down there. It's definitely a place where people will come see them.

It really was the Confederate currency that got it started. Dick's contribution was one of the first that was significant enough for us to know the Atlanta History Center was going to be able to acquire Sherman's orders.

One contains a note from Sherman to his aide about making a collection for the records, the aide responds, and the document ends with something back from Sherman. The last person we have touching this is one of Sherman's aides.

We did a good job of staying in the game, and I thought we had a chance to close in even more when we got the lead down to eight.

I'd rather have a gold medal, but I guess people know about us now. I thought we were the best dual team in the state, but I guess I was wrong.

American journalists go for safe stories. They don't like controversy. They don't like to say, 'I was a witness. I saw this. This is true. This is what happened." You have this constant business where journalists can never be the source; there has to be this anonymous diplomat.
