Signing a rooftop by Jim Hathaway

I thought I was finished climbing on the roof, but had not signed the dragon. How does one sign a roof?

A friend recommended my web address.

I went with a seal.

Jame MacNeil Whistler sighed with a dancing butterfly. It became his mark. I signed my dragon with a hunting horn. It is purported to be the Hathaway family crest. America didn’t have family crests. No royalty in America thank you very much. Perhaps that is why we wanted them. I don’t believe the Hathaway family in England was ever in a position high enough to warrant a crest, but we picked one up along the way and claimed it.

I recall seeing it in a book on my fathers shelf, “Hathaways in America.” the crest was the only illustration in a thick listing of people named Hathaway, in America, published by Hathaways for their own consumption.
