Treaty of Paris Signing

On March 19, 2015 I had the honor of appearing as John Jay in the illustrious company of Ben Franklin (portrayed by Chris Lowell) and John Adams (portrayed by David Smith). Mark Croatti heads up The Treaty of Paris Center in Annapolis (which you can check out on www.treatyofpariscenter.org). The Center focuses on the time period between the signing of the Treaty of Paris and the signing of the Constitution. They have a room dedicated to the Presidents of the Continental Congress. Yes, someone finally recognizes the work of John Jay and the other Presidents before George Washington.

If you go the Capital Gazette site you can see how Chris Lowell lightened the place up with Ben Franklin. He is the best Ben Franklin I have seen. He knows his subject in and out. He speaks French and even taught in France. He is a lot of fun and you cannot leave being around him without thinking that you have spent time with Dr. Franklin.

This picture was taken at the Annapolis State Capital with John Jay (Phil Webster), John Adams (David Smith) and Dr. Ben Franklin (Chris Lowell from www.benfranklinlive.com) in September 2015.
