Valentines Day
February 14th is Valentine's Day, a popular holiday in the U.S.
One of the earliest Valentines was sent in 1415 AD by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife during his imprisonment in the Tower of London. The card is now preserved in the British Museum. (Information from holidayspot.com)
Pictured is Arron Philips from The U.K. We await Arron's return visit to Seligman in a few months with his wife.
