Sunday, May 19, p.m.

While we in the United States were worried about computer problems at the turn of the millenium, people in Great Britain were interested in marking the millenium by other means. That's why we are seeing so many millenium tapestries. We viewed the one at Sunbury on Thames today. Each one of these millenium tapestries is unique to the locale; so, except for very general themes, such as prehistory, the Roman occupation and WWI and WWII, they touch on buildings, people and events that are specific to the area. In this case, there is special mention of a tragic maritime accident where a larger boat ran into and sank a pleasure boat.
