I know that this has been in the works for about a year to bring Sgt George out as a speaker at the Reunion and Historical Conference - we've only spoken on the phone, so I look forward to meeting him as well over some Virginia BBQ! --- On Wed, 2/4/09, RockCatt@aol.com <RockCatt@aol.com> wrote: From: RockCatt@aol.com <RockCatt@aol.com> Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Sgt. George to Speak at Germanna? To: germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2009, 6:25 PM I, too, am thrilled to finally put a face to an email post!!! You, too, Craig, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in person either. The Historical Conference and Reunion is, indeed, shaping up to be quite an event, or events, actually! Of course, I'm biased being part of the Foundation and all! I think that we will have something for everyone as we have presentations on research techniques and how-to's, along with lectures on German Town, the Little Fork Colony and the mysteries of the ship Oliver and it's passengers by John B. He definitely has my curiousity piqued. Keep checking the Germanna Foundation website at: _www.germanna.org_ (http://www.germanna.org) for the latest!! Barb Price PS--Yes, a sharp axe is a good thing and I'll bring it with me! In a message dated 2/4/2009 15:09:59 Pacific Standard Time, persisto@earthlink.net writes: At long last! We finally get to meet the ubiquitous Sgt. George in person and interrogate him. Is water boarding legal for civilian organizations? (his resume says he is trained interrogator, let's see how well we can learn from him.) Seriously, this is a really fantastic addition to what seems to be shaping up as "how to" in genealogical and historical research tips. This is an interesting new twist to past reunions, but I for one find it very interesting (of course I am one of the presenters so I might be biased--but having said that, I too always like to sharpen my axe...by which in Midwest lingo means hone your skills. Although axes do have other purposes and should always be kept very sharp.) I for one cannot wait.
