Interesting stuff. I read that General Pulaski actually saved the life of George Washington, but I don't know the details of that. I will have to look it up.

Don't know much about New Jersey as I have never been there, but I have a few friends there that I went to college with. The school that I went to had several kids from New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts. Some went to school there because of athletic scholarships and I imagine some just went there because even out of state tuition in Arkansas was probably cheaper than going to school in New Jersey. I still talk to some of those guys from New Jersey on facebook.
