George Washington is best known for being our first president. He laid the foundation for
the great country we live in today. Before he took on this important role, he was a leader in
many other ways. He was an officer in the French and Indian war, in 1775 he became the
commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, and he presided over the Constitutional
Convention. All of these important experiences helped mold Washington into the man he
became as our president.

example, that horse racing is legal in your state, but that you cannot legally play poker for
money on your front porch; bookies may be prosecuted by state law, but they are supposed
to purchase a federal license nonetheless; one church condemns gambling, while another
raises money by sponsoring Bingo games. Gambling laws are inconsistent from state to
state or even from town to town and are very difficult to enforce.

In earlier days those who had overseas business which they believed should be discussed
personally, took ship and set out across the briny deep. Once aboard they transacted their
affairs, engaging in commercial and social matters or conducting government business.
Today ships and passengers continue to sail the seven seas, and airplanes soar overhead.
But above them all, words speed through the sky – telephone conversations quickly bring
together in the most personal fashion people who are separated by thousands of miles.
