Snap o’ the Day: Smile, Mr. Jefferson!

by Dave McNair

Tourists pose with a life-size bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson at Moniticello’s new visitors center, which stands near the shuttle stop up the mountain. At 6 feet, 3 inches, the statue shows Jefferson at about age 70, and was modeled after Thomas Sully’s portrait painted at Monticello in 1821 for the United States Military Academy.

Update: Various media are reporting that incumbent City Councilor Julian Taliaferro was ousted for the nomination as newcomer Kristin Szakos and Mayor/Councilor Dave Norris got the two Council nominations. Meanwhile, the three-way race for the sheriff’s nomination went to James E. Brown III. (0)
