Fall 2010 Membership Meeting  
November 6, 2010   
The Commonwealth Club, Richmond, Virginia
Picture
The Commonwealth Club welcomed Jamestowne Society members and guests at the Fall Meeting of the Society on Saturday, November 6, 2010.  Council met at 9:00 am Members and guests enjoyed a reception and luncheon which followed at 12:30 pm.  
Outgoing Governor Carter Branham Snow Furr transfers Governor's Medal to Incoming Governor Joseph Holleman Barlow.

The speaker was Bill Young, who, in colonial costume as Captain Gabriel Archer, addressed those present as though they were newly arrived English settlers at Jamestowne.  Some of the news he brought was encouraging, but as someone who had survived the starving time on the island, he brought somber and serious comments on what it was like to survive such an ordeal.  Captain Archer's knowledge of the colony brought new perspective to descendants of the early settlers, who greatly enjoyed his presentation.  Young's presentation of Archer is enhanced by the careful detail of his costume, which reflects the fabric and construction of the times.
