This is not meant to take away from Geraldine Ferraro or what she did, but to educate and point out the shortcomings of the American media.
Geraldine Ferraro was not the first female Vice Presidential candidate. Back in 1884, Marietta Stow was the Vice Presidential candidate for the National Equal Rights Party. The Presidential candidate was another woman, Belva Ann Lockwood.
Over the decades several other women have been Vice Presidential candidates
with minimal success. Then in 1972 the Libertarian Party ran Theodora
N. Nathan as their candidate and she became the first woman to receive
an electoral vote when elector Roger L. MacBride of Virginia voted for the
Libertarian ticket.

Kelly visits New Haven, Connecticut
On a sunny, but chilly, day in mid-March, Kelly made a visit to New Haven, Connecticut. The first stop was at Grove Street Cemetery on the north side of Yale University. The cemetery was founded in 1797 and now contains several famous burials.
[Where is this?]
The Egyptian Revival gate makes an impressive entrance. The inscription reads THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED. Henry Austin, who is buried here, designed the gate.

The first grave we visisted was, of course, a Founding Father. Roger Sherman was the only person to sign all 4 of the major American documents: the Continental Association (1774), the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union (1777), and the Constitution of the United States (1787). In addition, he was a US Representative, US Senator, and mayor of New Haven.

Next we visited the grave of Noah Webster. Webster published his first dictionary in 1806 which was titled A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. Then in 1828, he published An American Dictionary of the English Language. He is responsible for the American spelling of words such as "color" and "center".

Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin.

Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanized rubber. It must be cool to have your name on the side of blimps.

Martha Townsend, the first person buried at Grove Street Cemetery.
[Where is this?]
After leaving Grove Street Cemetery we headed down to Lighthouse Point Park in East Haven. It is a very nice park right on Long Island Sound, but this day it was just too cold and windy to really enjoy it.
(Note: According to a couple of different maps, Lighthouse Point Park is actually in New Haven.)
[Where is this?]
By now, we were ready for lunch. We had originally thought about Louis' Lunch, where the hamburger sandwich was invented, but they are closed on Sunday. So we ended up at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana. Their pizza was great and we look forward to going again.

On the way home we visited another Founding Father. We found Oliver Wolcott Sr. at East Cemetery in Litchfield, Connecticut. In addition to signing the Declaration of Independence, he was also a Brigadier General in the Continental Army and Governor of Connecticut.
