Thank You Bill Binzel

[L Verge]

Knowing the ins and outs of how things work around D.C., Bill Binzel took the bull by the horns and contacted Senator Mark Warner of Virginia and alerted him to the situation of the Garrett farm site now being pretty much off-limits to the casual visitor. That was in January of this year.

Senator Warner made an inquiry of the proper officials who deal with the Ft. A.P. Hill Military Reservation and received a synopsis of what has transpired up to mid-April and a promise that the situation would be followed to see if any accommodations can be made to keep the site's history alive. They confirmed that the median strip where the house stood is listed as an archaelogical site on military property, and also that they would be working with VDOT and county officials to work out a solution.

Thank you, Bill, for your interest and efforts on our behalf.
