The RCWRT's Annual Dinner with
Bill Young
"Pickett's Charge According to Lt. George Finley, CSA"

6-9pm, Tuesday, November 12, 2013, at the
Willow Oaks Country Club
6228 Forest Hill Avenue 
Richmond, Virginia 23225
Note - Our Speaker has changed read on...



Our scheduled dinner speaker, Dr.  George Kirsch is unable to attend due
to  an  unanticipated medical situation.  We are most fortunate that one
of our own members, Bill  Young  has  stepped  into  the  breach.   Bill
willingly   accepted  the  invitation  to  present  one  of  his  famous
historical impressions.  He will portray Lieutenant  George  W.   Finley
who  commanded Company K, 56th Virginia Infantry, Garnett's Brigade when
Pickett's Division was ordered to attack Cemetery Ridge on July 3.      

Bill is a retired trial lawyer  with  degrees  from  the  University  of
Virginia  and  the  University  of Richmond Law School.  He portrays Lt.
Finley as he looked in the early 1900's.  The Civil War Round  Table  of
Central  Florida  found  Bill's  presentation  of  this Pickett's Charge
survivor to be "An unparalleled, profound, awe inspiring,  extraordinary
evening."                                                               

Checks  for  the  dinner must reach Bruce Venter no later than Thursday,
November 7. Questions call Bruce: 703-785-4373 (mobile)
