I deliver mail to Worthington Hooker Middle School in New Haven.

One day last Spring, I was delighted to find a display in the main lobby of different artifacts in their own dioramas. The assignment had the flavor of a Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not. The students were to chose an object, design a display, and then create an ad pitch to make the viewing of this item irresistible!

So, in honor of John Hancock’s birthday, I want to share this student’s marvelous project: “John Hancock’s Original Quill.”

…and there it is, hovering over The Declaration of Independence.

Permission to photograph the display was granted through the school office. Thank you Ken Ellis for your most imaginative solution. I am especially thrilled that Ken can write cursive. I’m sure John Hancock would be,too.
