Minutes of April 13 Meeting

 The last meeting of the season took place as we welcomed Ryan and Christine to our group! The draft PRESS RELEASE--"In Defense of Robert E. Lee"--by President Brian Bailey was approved and was sent to local newspapers. Our group enjoyed a trivia "Jeopardy Game" in which all questions except one (the only civilian killed at Gettysburg) were answered! The game (on Powerpoint) will be posted in the Program section so that it may be accessed by members who wish to share it.  Jack presented a program on John Hunt Morgan which will also be posted there. Those wishing to use the PowerPoint are encouraged to read the lengthy notes for each slide which amount to 17 pages. Constance Fenimore Woolson's (a descendent of James Fenimore Cooper) poem, "Kentucky Belle,"--at the end of the slide show--was enjoyed by all. Brian promised that the group will seek interviews with County Commissioners over the Lee Memorial and will update members over the summer. 
     We look forward to resuming our meetings in October and will everyone a restful and rewarding summer!
