McNair - Grant Hall Dedication
Although the weather was freezing and icy (with strong winds) the dedication of Grant Hall (Quarters 20) at Fort McNair went off fabulously last night!

A very large and interesting attendance - including Surratt Docents, Joan Chaconas, Surratt Society Historian; Louise Oertly, Surratt Society President; Susan Lempke, War College Librarian; James Swanson, Mike Kauffman and yours truly.

Lots of Generals and other dignitaries in attendance as well!
