William English

Another sign from Road Sign Math enthusiast David Slauenwhite! This sign gives a subtle nod to the great politicians named William English. There were at least a handful of them and they played a critical role in many political circles. Following the pattern one can assume that a future sports center will be created and given the official title of William English Sport Center.

The math on this sign is straightforward and full of variety, mixing green mileage signs with road markers. The picturesque scene in the background almost matches the elegance of the math.

10 + 15 = 25

This sign is found in Pennsylvania on PA 284 West leaving Buttonwood just after crossing US 15. The GPS coordinates for this sign are approximately N41 29 39.6 W77 08 59.2. See sign on map!

    One of the Wm English notables was Wm Hayden English, from Indiana (1822-1896), and This english was the unsuccessful Vice-Presidential candidate in 1880. He also had interests or influences in Montana, as there was a Wm English GAR post in Bozeman MT, and English was involved in building a hotel in Yellowstone in 1893-94.

    I would like to hear from anyone with information about his Montana and Yellowstone connections. Please reach me at vincekoers@aol.com
