Faught to speak at Gen. meeting

Submitted by Canton1 on

There are some very good programs coming up at the Van Zandt County Library that are about people who lived through trying events of the past. The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society will host performer LaJuanna Faught during its monthly meeting at 2 p.m., April 22, in the Buchanan Room.  Faught will present “Susanna Dickinson, Only Woman Survivor of the Alamo.”  Faught is a native Texan and has been a performing member of the Texana Living History Association for more than 10 years.

She is a wonderfully animated storyteller who brings a sense of humor to her portrayals that make them a real joy for both young and older audiences.

The Van Zandt County Genealogy and Local History Library is presenting a program of interviews with World War II veterans. These were collected by county high school students in 2001. The videos have recently been digitized and selections will be shown from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, April 27 in the Buchanan Room.

Gardens are filled with treasures; either the delicious bounty that we grow and eat or the beautiful, heavenly scented flowers that attract the beneficial bees and butterflies.
