A Patriotic Program was introduced by Hugh Johnson.  First, the Club was treated to vocal performances by Mark Torma and a trio of actors playing Franklin, Jefferson, and Adams from the Tony Award winning musical, “1776”.  The production will be playing at the Civic Theatre on weekends between April 15th and May 1st.
Second, John Hundley informed the Club about researching Revolutionary War Patriot Ancestors.  John is involved with the local Genealogical Society and Sons of American Revolution.  He has researched and identified 40 ancestors that were involved in the American Revolution, either as soldiers, legislators, or providers of materials and food.  John also explained that the Sons of American Revolution are involved with perpetuating the memories of the Patriots in schools, patriotic parades, and historic informational presentations.
