Dear List: Last night at the monthly meeting of my DAR Chapter , we had as our program a remarkable oration by "Patrick Henry", given by an obviously talented fifth-generation Texas gentleman dressed in period costume (an optometrist in real life, and a Navy veteran). In between orating several of Henry's speeches, he gave, in the first person, some of Henry's other history -- his intermittent illnesses during this time, his strong feelings of the oppression our forefathers were under, as well as the several trips to see and talk to Washington and other of our forefathers, on which he was accompanied by his brother-in-law and supporter, Samuel Meredith. Samuel's name enters the oration one other time. Am I the only naive Meredith researcher that didn't know a Samuel Meredith was Patrick Henry's brother-in-law??? Anne
