Albert Irvin Cassell

Albert Irvin Cassell was born in Towson, Maryland on June 25, 1895, the third child of Albert Truman Cassell and Charlotte Cassell. Albert Cassell began his education in the segregated Baltimore public school system, but moved to New York in 1909 where he began attending Douglas High School. At Douglas High, Cassell studied drafting under Ralph Victor Cook. With Cook's assistance, Cassell was admitted to the Cornell University architecture program in 1915. After completing two years at Cornell, Cassell's studies were interrupted by service in the US Army in World War I. He served in France, but not in combat, and was honorably discharged in 1919 as a second lieutenant in the 351st Heavy Field Artillery Regiment. In 1919 Cassell was awarded his degree from Cornell University, and began his career working with architect William A. Hazel. In 1920, Mr. Cassell joined in the Architecture Department of Howard University as assistant professor. Just two years later, in 1922, Cassell had become University Architect and head of the Architecture Department at Howard.

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick
question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!

Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?

I almost never drop comments, however i did some searching and wound
up here "Albert Irvin Cassell". And I do have a few questions for you
if you don't mind. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of these responses look like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of all of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Usually it is caused by the fire communicated in the post I read.
And after this post "Albert Irvin Cassell". I

2 questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it only me or
do some of the remarks come across as if
