President Ruth-Anne Bolz introduced guest speaker Jeff Holcumb to address the members of the Lord Craven Chapter of Colonial Dames on September 19th at the Carolina BBQ in Wilmington, NC.

 I enjoyed speaking to the Lord Craven Chapter of the Colonial Dames about the life of Flora MacDonald and her place in Scottish and Colonial American history.  I found Flora's courage and character to be indicative of what the Colonial Dames represent, even though her political choices may have been poor.
