In light of the recent mention of Bly Staube on the discussion list, not to mention comments on the lack of attention to the subject of the Quadricentennial, I am sharing with you  an opportunity to hear the senior curator at Jamestown speak on the topic below. Her previous talk was very well received. You will be pleased to hear that many groups in Fairfax County are planning all kind of activities for 2007. 


HISTORIC VIENNA, INC. FALL MEMBERSHIP MEETING TO FEATURE
BEVERLY "BLY" HARDY STRAUBE, SENIOR CURATOR, JAMESTOWN

The fall membership meeting for Historic Vienna, Inc. will be held on Friday, October 14, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. at the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry Street, SE.

The public is invited to attend.

Following a brief business meeting, the speaker for the evening will be Beverly "Bly" Straube, Senior Curator for the Jamestown Recovery Project of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, at Jamestown Island. Her topic will be "Digging up Dirt on Jamestown: Ten Years of Archaelogical Rediscovery" This is a power point presentation about the process and discovery of more than 700,000 items at the digging on Jamestown Island.

Ms. Straube previously made this presentation at the Vienna Community Center on June 24th. While there was very good attendance at that meeting, many local folks were unable to attend due to conflicts. This 'repeat' will provide an opportunity for everyone to hear the informative story of the significance of Jamestown and its beginning as America's birthplace.

The former "Bly" Hardy Straube is a native of Vienna, graduated from Thoreau Middle School, and James Madison Senior High School. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology/ Sociology from Chatham College and a Masters Degree in American Studies from William and Mary College.  She is currently an Advanced Degree Candidate, University of Leicester, England.

This is a presentation you will not want to miss. Come and bring the family, and friends.
