What knowledge would members of this list say was *transformed* (as opposed to deepened and enriched)?
Has our knowledge changed or have the questions we ask changed?

Jon: I, for one, would welcome a discussion about the anniversary and its presentation on this list.
Having studied and lectured on Jamestown while we living in England, I took my children back to the US for the celebration  and got to see it through their eyes as well.
To my mind there has been far too little discussion *after the fact* of the celebration, what it set out to accomplish, whether it realized its ambitions, and what was learned.
