Overall: AGF on the offline source, though I've found pictures of the monument that back up the claim. Everything else checks out, though I am personally offended by the idea of celebrating the Red "Delicious", as someone from Cosmic Crisp country. Sounder Bruce 21:53, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

@SounderBruce: I added an image. I personally think that Red Delicious apples really aren't delicious too. SL93 (talk) 01:53, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't think the image would be properly legible at thumbnail size, and since it doesn't actually depict the engraved monument I think it would be best to leave it out of the hook. Sounder Bruce 18:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
