This evening, May 14th at 7:30 you can attend a spectacular rare treat, a performance of the Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corps at Kimball Theatre in Merchants Square. As part of the 50th Anniversary, they are performing with their celebrated former director, John Moon.

I was born and raised in Williamsburg, Virginia, and from a very young age, my love of the beautiful, historic town took root. My father worked for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation for 21 years as an audio-visual engineer. As members of the historic Bruton Parish Episcopal Church, our family attended services regularly and sang in the choir. I was married in that church in 1987. During my college years, I worked every summer as an interpretive hostess in many historic buildings. Today I am a teacher and published author. Although I currently reside in the Columbus, Ohio area, my heart still belongs to the Colonial Capital.
