Hello Students, its Mr. B again. Just here to update you about what I have been up to. Today, a brisk but sunny day, I took a drive with some chums up to Sagamore Hill to celebrate Christmas with the Roosevelts with our knowledgeable friend who happens to be a park ranger; Yes, he is a park ranger. When we arrived to the historic home of Teddy Roosevelt, I cannot describe the sights that I saw in upper Oyster Bay. There were people dressed in late 19th/early 20th century garb, combined with the multitude of people scattered about the park that made it seem a lot more excited than the place looks. As we were strolling up to the house to see out buddy, all of a sudden a man wearing hanging eyeglasses, a top hat, and sporting a thick mustache. Unmistakably, Teddy Roosevelt was in our company instructing the trio of us on spending Christmas with our families, and then began inquiring about what strange clothing we were wearing. Teddy Roosevelt had given us a very interesting Christmas experience.
