Page validation question

[Robert Sullivan]

I converting another site over to XHTML 1.0 Strict, and have a couple of small,
but vexatious validation errors from both w3.org and htmlhelp.com.

<http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/education/neisuler/01.html>

complains about my break tag and suggests I may have an inline element
containing a block-level element.  As far as I can tell, I don't, as the tag is
in between two divs.

The validator also doesn't like the blockquote near the end of the page and
suggests wrapping the text in a more descriptive container.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
