It's got the Old Man of the Mountain on the back and the New Hampshire motto: "Live Free or Die" on it. Also has the date 1788 on it, which I presume is the date NH became a state.

When I saw your Forum title at the top, I read it in the French way as "New Hampshire *Quartier*." Then I idly wondered "Now which regional district of a city had NH become?"

Well, you really can't blame me that French and French Creole are possibly the second most-popular languages in NH after English. Can you. "Real" French Americans. Merveilleux.

Oh! Oh! My mother owns property down there. Is that whom you were thinking of?

It isn't? Unless you mean the fiberglass and epoxy shrinkwrap gracing the Old Guy, then yeah.

I'm sure it would. So what do beavers and umbrellas have to do with Oregon?
