Fun Fact

(A fun fact!  We learned that the US government does not use apostrophes in place names! So Deadmans Corner is punctuated properly, by the US Board on Geographic names! There are only 5 places in the USA that still allow the use of an apostrophe. One of them is Martha’s Vineyard – can you find the other four? )
