Colonial Williamsburg

[Tom M King]

I hope, when you were in Old Salem, that you had time to visit the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. https://mesda.org/

If not, plan to go back, and have several hours to spend there. They have complete original rooms from different periods.

The shop in Williamsburg is better.

edited to add: When approaching Jamestown on the ferry, look over to where you think the original colony started. Someone on board might be able to tell you. I was riding across there with an Architectural Historian, soon after they had found the original location. He told me that they hadn't ever looked there before, and it had been a long time. I told him that they must not have ever looked from the water. The colonists came by boat. That was the first place I would have looked.

Conference has been excellent so far. Said hello to Warren today and got to meet Steve Voigt. Steve gave an excellent presentation on the plane and workshop practices of the Nicholson/ Cesar Chelar workshop. Thoroughly enjoyable.

So, funny thing...I spent the first couple of days of the conference sitting next to this nice guy, with lots of interesting observations, named Warren. I ran into Warren at the blacksmith's shop during one of the lunch breaks, and there he is asking Ken Schwarz all these insightful questions. Had a nice conversation with him on the stroll back to the conference, and was overall glad to get to know him over the duration of the conference. All along I'm thinking: "where do I know that name...Warren Mickley?" It wasn't until I got back an checked back into SMC that I realized! In my defense, I met 20-30 people at the conference whom I already knew of, or only knew online.
