Come and hear author Christian M. McBurney tell the story at the next meeting of the American Revolution Round Table of Richmond on Wednesday, May 20.  Christian is an officer of the DC ARRT and author of Kidnapping the Enemy: The Special Operations to Capture Generals Charles Lee and Richard Prescott, as well as two other wonderful books on the revolution.  Please join us at the University of Richmond for dinner at 5 PM, followed by the meeting at 6 PM.

Please be prepared to nominate your Preservation Partner for 2015, as we’ll finalize nominations in preparation for our on-line vote.  It would be helpful if you have some detailed information about your suggestion ready to share with the members.
