Hi Folks,
Many of you are aware that the American Revolution Round Table of Richmond will be honoring Dr. Harry M. Ward at a testimonial dinner on Saturday, October 16. This sit down dinner will be held at the University of Richmond, where Dr. Ward taught for 35 years and is now William Binford Vest Professor of History, Emeritus. Harry is still active in his scholarship and writing, with 19 books to his credit. For those who wish to get a fuller picture of Dr. Ward's contributions to the field of colonial, revolutionary, and early republic history, an abstracted copy of his vita is below. This should certainly confirm that he is deserving of such recognition.
So, we invite you to join us on October 16. The invitation is also below and hopefully is self explanatory. Dr. Mark Danley, one of Harry's former students, will deliver a lecture in his honor. The agenda is falling into place, with a number of other organizations joining in the evening. It should be both an enjoyable and appropriate event. All that's missing is you. Please join us. And please contact me if there are questions.
I would also request that you pass this invitation along to anyone else that you feel would be interested. Thank you for your assistance. We look forward to seeing you on October 16.
