University Bound

The beautiful and lovely Sheel “Ceo” Chitalia poses with Mr. King after her last lesson before going off to college. Sheel will begin her freshman year at the University of California, Berkeley. This young woman is a tribute to humanity. At the KIA we all know how tough and intense she is; a veritable lioness when it comes to fighting and self-defense. We all know, too, what an extraordinary young woman she is—bright, charming, intelligent, respectful, humble, and oh, did we say intense?

It not only served as the private residence of the renowned American poet and educator, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, but it was also the tactical residence of General George Washington during the initial stages of the Revolutionary War. It’s an amazing historical monument in Cambridge and definitely a stopping place for tourists.

High Ground

Looking down on inner Boston Harbor, this photo was taken from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. Notice the USS Constitution approximately 45 degrees to the upper right of the photo’s center. The top of the monument offers a 360-degree view of the entire Boston area. Such a beautifully visual experience is well worth the 294-step climb to its zenith of 221 feet.

Don't Fire Until You See the Whites of their Eyes!

“Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” It’s one of the most famous sayings originating from the American Revolutionary War. This famous order was delivered by Colonel William Prescott on June 17, 1775, to his colonial troops stationed just below the high ground of Bunker Hill on Breed’s Hill, which was located lower and closer to the water of Charleston Harbor so the attacking British troops could be engaged earlier.

Interior of the Old North Church

This is the interior of the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts. As we know from United States history, it was this structure that is intrinsic to the legend of Paul Revere on April 18, 1775, in which the signal lanterns were displayed, notifying fellow American freedom fighters of the British march to Lexington and Concord.
