SUMMARY:The River Where America Began: HFCI Annual Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join members of HFCI at our annual meeting and program. You do not have to be an HFCI member to attend\, but we hope you will join! \nOur guest speaker will be Bob Deans\, who will entertain us with a lecture on “The River Where America Began: A Journey Along the James” \n \nBob Deans is a retired national correspondent for Cox Newspapers\, as well as past President of the White House Correspondents Association in the early 2000’s. A Virginia native\, he started out in the news business when he was ten years old\, delivering his hometown paper The Richmond-Times Dispatch. His first reporting job was with The Charleston Post and Courier in South Carolina. From there he joined The Atlanta Journal-Constitution before becoming the chief of Asia correspondent based in Tokyo\, Japan. In 1992 Deans moved to Washington\, D.C. where he has covered foreign policy\, national security\, economic affairs\, and The White House. He lives in Bethesda\, Maryland\, with his family. \nPraise for The River Where America Began: \n“Anyone with an interest in early American history should appreciate Dean’s mix of natural and cultural perspectives”–Publisher’s Weekly \n  \n“A waterway that runs through Virginia also runs through and nourishes our identity as a nation. This book is the work of a superb journalist and also a masterful storyteller. In Bob Dean’s unsparing and riveting narrative\, we really get to know the characters like Captain John Smith\, Thomas Jefferson\, and Patrick Henry\, and understand why we wouldn’t be who we are\, if they hadn’t been who they were.”-Karen Tumulty\, Time Magazine \n  \n“The James is an American river. It witnessed the birth of English-speaking America in 1607\, the new birth of freedom ushered in by the Union victory in The Civil War\, and Abraham Lincoln’s dramatic visit to the fallen Confederate Capitol of Richmond on April 4th\, 1865. Bob Deans’s eloquent narrative does full justice to the story.\, both tragic and majestic of this historic river.”-J.M. McPherson\, Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Abigail Adams Founding Mother
DESCRIPTION:In Abigail: Founding Mother\, national award-winning actor and storyteller\, Megan Wells\, brings Abigail Adams to life. In this humorous and historically accurate portrayal\, Megan Wells vivifies the full measure of Abigail’s contribution to our democracy.  Behind the scenes but very firm\, Abigail rode the risky edge of feminine power.  Not too much\, not too little – choose your words carefully – just right.  Relevant\, moving and wry with wit\, Megan’s Abigail awakens new perspectives of how we must “remember the ladies.”
