Walt Chiquoine, a local historian from Hockessin, DE, presented "Prelude To Brandywine: The March of General Sir William Howe and The British Army, September 8 through 10, 1777." After many years of researching primary sources, Walt pinpointed the location of the Daniel Nichols House, near Hockessin, where Howe had his HQ before the Battle. Then last night we had our first MTHS meeting in our new office/museum/library space in the former Roosevelt School. After nine years we finally have a place to call home! We are in the process of moving all the items stored in the officers basements and attics and will actually be able to see and use what we have.

Smolla of the Delaware Law School of Widener University: "Please join me in congratulating Emeritus Professor Tom Reed on receiving a Paul Wilkinson Lifetime Achievement Award through the 2016 Delaware Governor's Outstanding Volunteer Awards program. This is the most prestigious award the program bestows. Tom has contributed free legal work to 14 Delaware nonprofit organizations since 1994, but his nomination placed the greatest emphasis on his service to U.S. Veterans through the Veterans Law Clinic here at the law school. When he founded the clinic as a program through Delaware Volunteer Legal Services in 1997, it was the first of its kind in the country. Tom represented 108 Delaware clients from then until the program gained clinic status in 2006. Tom has logged 902 volunteer hours in free legal service to veterans through the clinic since 2010, when he retired from teaching and serving as clinic director. His commitment to veterans and the clinic's pro bono service has been profound. The clinic has recovered more than $9 million in benefits owed to U.S. veterans. Tom will receive the award at a dinner Oct. 19 at Dover Downs Hotel."

I am emailing to let you know that I recently accepted the Megan Giordano Fellowship at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. My duties include teaching public history courses at Rowan and serving as curator at Red Bank Battlefield Park and Whitall House in Gloucester County, NJ. The park includes the James and Ann Whitall House (built in 1748), home to a Quaker family. The Whitalls ran a farm, orchard, shad fishery, and more. The Park also includes the site of the 1777 Battle of Red Bank (American victory against the Hessians, which was part of the Philadelphia campaign) and the site of Fort Mercer. The Whitall home served as a field hospital after the battle. The Park, as you may know, is on the Delaware River and is directly across from Fort Mifflin and the Philadelphia airport. www.gloucestercountynj.gov/depts/p/parks/parkgolf/redbank/ The fellowship, which is renewable yearly, is named after former Red Bank curator Megan Giordano, a 2005 graduate of the Winterthur Program who passed away in 2011. As you can imagine, I am really excited to start this position as I finish up my dissertation on material culture and disability in early America at Delaware. You can continue to email me at this address and also at nbelolan@gmail.com and nicole@nicolebelolan.org. Please be in touch to visit me at Red Bank!
