Sen. Percy & the Georgetown Waterfront

Sen. Charles Percy died this morning, just days after the opening of the final section of the Georgetown Waterfront Park. Going back to the 1970's, Percy was one of the primary promoters of the creation of the park.

Percy was a Republican senator back in the day when the term liberal Republican was not an oxymoron. I also I remember him fondly, because I wrote a paper about him in college that I got an A on.

Here is a photo of the plaque honoring him in the park, as well as a photo I took of the fountain at dusk tonight.
