A little more about our program...
Topic for the evening:
"Williamsburg 1862" .
Williamsburg 1862… a bloody clash in the pouring rain. Union forces pushing through Virginia mud, Confederate defenders digging in hard. Cannons thunder, smoke thick in the air, bodies falling where they stand. A brutal, messy fight... setting the tone for the long war ahead.

He lives in Williamsburg with his wife Kate and their two cats. He enjoys reading, oysters, craft beer (or spirits), and music.
