OUR HONOR ROLL of PAST SPEAKERS: CLICK HERE
It is with the greatest sadness that I share with you the loss of our friend,
Compatriot, and fine American Tom Keesee.
Tom had been courageously fighting the effects of cancer for some time but finally succumbed last Friday.
A memorial service will be held at Noon on Saturday, 28 January at:
Conejo Mountain Memorial Park
2052 Howard Road
Camarillo
Phone: 805-482-1959
This February’s meeting features the return of a prior speaker to our Round Table, Francis Hamit. Mr. Hamit spoke to the Civil Warriors previously in September 2008 on “The Shennandoah Spy.” Next month he will speak on “Behind ‘The Queen of Washington’”.
The talk will feature a discussion of the research and sources used to create his book about Rose Greenhow. “The Queen of Washington” and “The Shennandoah Spy” are elements of a remarkable story about the Confederate Secret Service and the women who were its most effective agents. They form part of a larger series entitled “Acts of War.”
Francis Hamit has been a professional writer for 46 years and has an MFA in Fiction from the Iowa Writers Workshop. He served in military intelligence during the Vietnam War. He wrote for the Encyclopedia Brittanica on intelligence topics where he discovered Belle Boyd’s remarkable story, which became the basis of “The Shennandoah Spy.”
