Circumstances presented themselves for us to get a good last-minute
speaker for our June 12 meeting. Dr. E. Russ Williams, renown historian
and genealogist, will be in Washington Parish next week for the Williams
reunion. His cousin (and our president) Fran Harry called to see if he
would be able to fit us into his schedule while he was in the area.
He would love to speak to our group. I know that St. Tammany has its
picnic and pool party earlier that day, but maybe some of the members
would be interested in hearing Dr. Williams talk.
Our meeting will be at 5:30 pm in the Bogalusa branch of the Washington
Parish Library. We would love to have all of you to join us that
evening.
Dr. Williams recently retired from the faculty of the History Dept. of
Northeast LA University in Monroe, LA. He has written several books
about our area's history. He is definitely an authority. The book he
is working on now covers such well-known area names as Richardson,
Williams, Talley, Mizell, Knight, Magee, etc.
Please invite your members and your friends to be with the Washington
Parish Genealogical and Historical Society for this meeting. I would
appreciate your putting this in an e-mail to them.
We look forward to seeing you.
