ReplyDeleteI like that shade of blue, it is like the French football team color “les Bleus.” As for Duke University I read a long time ago, while reading about the robber barons of the gilded age, that it had been named after James Buchanan Duke, a uber wealthy tobacco businessman, or after the Duke family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my blog and writing an interesting comment. My nephew from Indiana answered your comment and I would copy it here but it is quite long, you may wish to come and read it.

ReplyDeleteVagabonde, thank you for alerting me to your nephew's comment on your blog. I have left another comment there as well. I'm glad we can discuss the subject coolly and calmly, without rancor or rising blood pressure!
