TO BE ANNOUNED




July 17, 2003
Watts House
Laurens, SC

 We are pleased to have as our July speaker Glenn Dedmondt from Johnston, SC. Glenn is famous (or infamous as he says) for his book "Flags of the Confederacy in South Carolina" which is probably the most authoritative and com-prehensive study of our South Carolina flags during the War Between the States that has ever been published. His talk for our July meeting will be a little bit different, however. He will be speaking and singing on a period banjo about songs soldiers sang during the War, ending up with the story of Dan Emmett and the minstrel songs he wrote including

"Dixie." This July 17th program will be one you do not want to miss!! Invite family and friends so we can have a good turnout for Glenn. Mr. Dedmondt attributes the beginning of his fascination with history to his fourth grade teacher, Catherine Feagan, "from whom I first heard of Robert E. Lee and Pickett's charge."

Glenn received his B.S. in Education from Southern College in Tennessee and is a history teacher. He has written articles for Confederate Veteran and Civil War Times Illustrated and is a member of the Living History Association, the South Carolina Federation of Museums, and the M.W. Gary

Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. His avocations are historical research and, as a living historian, is Commander of the Palmetto Battalion Light Artillery and Ferguson's Artillery Company.

Glenn is married with two sons and lives in Johnston, South Carolina.

 He will also bring some of his books to personally autograph. Remember Christmas is only six months away and a personally autographed book will make a fine gift!!

See you at the meeting on July 17th. – 6:30 p.m.
