James J. Volk, dead
And three years later King County Treasurer Phil Sanders confiscated the funds.

Angels or Devils?
Dear Rob,
M. C. Escher, the amazing 20th Century artist (you’ve seen his works before, Drawing Hands – 1948, and Relativity – 1953) created the woodcut pictured above – Angels and Devils.
