    Hi, Michael!
    I met you when you gave a presentation last fall here at the Dorchester County Historical Society in Dorchester County, Maryland. I graduated with my bachelors in history and now I’m working on my Masters concentrating in African-American history. I hope everything is well with you and hope to see you again soon. I have shared your link with my sister Peggy, a PH.D candidate in Agro-ecology and sustainable farming at the University of New Hampshire. I expect she’ll send you a reply as well! Best of everything to you!
