[BSW] Members' Night Sept. 7 + Recordings + MISC.

[KATHY BILTON]

The next BSW meeting will be at 7pm on Tuesday, September 7. As has been 
the custom in September, it will be Members' Night. So start thinking now 
if you have a short topic (5-10 minutes) you would like to present. 
(Note: Venue has not yet been discussed though at this point, I am 
assuming it will still be via Zoom.)

Canal National Historical Park, will give the next Speaker Series talk for 
Historic Shepherdstown Commission on Wednesday, June 23, at 7 p.m. via 
Zoom. Her talk will focus on "The C&O Canal: Surprising Truths and 
Colorful Myths." This overview of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal history and 
engineering will look at some of the canal’s most persistent myths and 
little understood truths.  Dr. Gray will distinguish the four very 
distinct eras of the canal’s history and explain such little understood 
physical characteristics as its three canals and river navigation 
stretches. To register, email hsc1786 at gmail.com. (Info from their Facebook
