Robert E. Lee Presentation 
by Norman Joy
This coming Sunday, May 15th
6:00 pm in Theatre
Norman Joy takes you back in time to find out what was on the mind of the Commanding General of the Confederate Army, Robert E. Lee, when he made decisions such as whether to accept command of the forces of the United States or resign his commission and return to Virginia. Or whether to make a final charge on the third day at Gettysburg. Or what options did he have other than surrender in April, 1865. Norman draws on his own years of military service and his historical research connections to bring General Lee to life. This presentation is open to everyone. Join us in the Theatre at 6:00 pm this coming Sunday, May 15th.
