Jim
Zobel, archivist and historian at the Gen. Douglas
MacArthur Memorial and
Museum, gave a fascinating talk to the members of the
Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg Feb. 27th about the genius
and quirks of the man who would define much of how
World War II and the Korean War were conducted. MacArthur
(left) is buried in Norfolk, Zobel said, because his
mother, a huge influence in his life, had lived in
the area.

By
the time you read this, the proposed Strategic Plan has
been reviewed in two increments by the District Long
Range Planning Committee,
those incremental results have been endorsed by the
District Board, and four of the eight District Regions
have had
the opportunity to attend presentations on "VISION: 20/15", to include the Strategic Plan. Between now and mid-April, all remaining Regions
will share in that opportunity. From there, all input
from all sources will be considered before the Board
endorses a final version of the Plan. That final version
will be presented to the House of Delegates for ratification
in Richmond this Summer. Once ratified by the delegates,
the plan belongs to the District membership and the
District Board will be charged with executing it.
