9-14-16 Program - Misquoting the Founding Fathers
Bob Meroney is fed up with politicians misquoting the founding fathers, and he’s just not going to take it anymore!  This Wednesday, our favorite Professor of Political Science, Dr. Bob Lawrence will introduce retired CSU Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and RCFC’s most frequent speaker, Dr. Bob Meroney, who will share his research and “favorite” misquotes.  
 
To set the stage, just who are the Founding Fathers?  Meroney defines them to be individuals from the original 13 colonies who were some or all of the following: 
  • Fought in the American Revolution,
  • Signers of the Continental Association (1774),
  • Signers of the Declaration of Independence (1776),
  • Signers of the Articles of Confederation (1777), and/or were
  • Delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention
