Many people believed Charlotte Bartholdi (1801-1891) was the model for the statue. Others thought it was based on her son's early drawings for a never-commissioned statue in Egypt. The sculptor's true inspiration for his masterpiece remains a mystery.

"Isabella was still striking lady, when she met the sculptor Bartholdi, he asked her to sit and be his model and she was the model for the Statue of Liberty. The statue was given to the American people in 1886 as a gift from the French people. A smaller statue of the Lady of Liberty was erected on an island at the side of the Pont de Grenelle, over the River Seine in Paris. The Duchess de Camposelice was 52 when she met and fell in love for the first time."Singer's widow

Well, my goodness. I knew that you French gave us the lady, but not who the model was for her.

I love Emma Lazarus' compressed poem at the base of the statue. Do you know how Emma died?

Child bed fever, Francis, but I can't verify that. As I recall, child bed fever was caused as a result of doctors going right to the delivery room from the autopsy room without washing their hands.

I-95 closed by Florida wildfires
Eight thousand acres burned, officials say


http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2006/US/05/08/florida.fires.ap/story.florida.crash.ap.jpg


NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Smoldering brush fires kept about 1,000 people from their homes early Monday, and the heavy smoke shut down parts of Interstate 95 between Daytona Beach and the Cape Canaveral area.

At least one home was destroyed and about 8,000 acres scorched by the fires that began Friday and flared up through the weekend, officials said.

"The state as a whole is just extremely dry right now," said Jim Brenner, fire management administrator for the state Division of Forestry. "These fires are consuming everything. And it's not over by any stretch of the imagination."

Smoke from the fires blended with fog early Monday and blanketed I-95 in Brevard County, forcing the shut down of a 20-mile stretch of highway. Another 12 miles had already been shut down because of the smoke. Authorities blamed the low visibility for a five-vehicle crash that killed two people Sunday.

"The hint to motorists is don't use I-95 in the next couple of days if you don't have to. We want motorists to avoid 95 from Indian River County up to Jacksonville," said Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kim Miller.

The flames were right behind Rita McSweeney's home when she fled her golf course community.

"I could see it through the woods," McSweeney told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. "The sky was black, black, black, black, and then it would turn fire engine red. It felt like I could reach out and touch the fire."

That's it, Tico. And not so much as a cinder here, but it is VERY dry.

Looks like Giant's causeway in Antrim County, Ireland.

But maybe you're trying to confuse us.

So, I'll say Seal Rock State Park, Oregon..
