It is definitely not the end of a street, but there are big houses with big columns on both sides of the street. The monument is in the middle of a median strip, right in front of the Equinox Inn. Does that help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1683338604348017893.post-90691715026708471332017-04-11T13:25:40.881-04:002017-04-11T13:25:40.881-04:00Aaron Sexton was my ancestor, and George and Jonat...Aaron Sexton was my ancestor, and George and Jonathan were his brothers.

There was a genealogy conference happening at the same time, so many of the volunteer graders were away. Generally the turn-around time for lessons has been a couple of weeks. I turned in Assignment #6 in June (two month ago) but still have not received feedback. I emailed the course administrator, who replied that my lesson had been received and is queue to be graded. The grading process of the course is one area that I believe could use improvement. Feedback sometimes take a long time to reach you, and the graders are anonymous, so if you have questions, you must funnel them back through the course administrator. It would be nice to be able to interact with the graders directly, just as you would an instructor in a classroom.Elroy Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935540127269354691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1683338604348017893.post-11245227744467330922013-08-29T13:42:21.345-04:002013-08-29T13:42:21.345-04:00I googled for some information on the NGS HSC and ...I googled for some information on the NGS HSC and found your site and I'm curious, how long did it take for you to get a response on your assignments?
