111 S. College Ave, Claremont CA 91711 | Note on our entry in the parade: A very famous Revolutionary War slogan --Don't Tread On Me! -- appeared on both a yellow flag with a coiled rattlesnake (the Gadsden flag) and on a red-and-white striped flag with a rippling rattlesnake across it (the Culpeper flag). The rattlesnake was chosen as a good example of America's virtues. It is unique to America; individually its rattles produce no sound but united they can be heard by all; and while it does not attack unless provoked, it is deadly to step upon one. The Friends have adapted these designs by using a variety of animals that live on the Bernard Biological Field Station. We ask the Colleges and the City not to tread on any of them. | The Friends of the Bernard Biological Field Station invite you to joint the fight to save this land. If you would like to be kept informed about what is happening or want to become actively involved, call (909) 260-4403 or write to PO Box 1101, Claremont, CA 91711 | June 26,1999 |
