# 195 GSE Day 2

Vic and Ry were guests at my home

The GSE team w/AG Juanita and President Bill
King William Courthouse

Pamunkey Indian reservation
Ray was the first up this morning and we all left for the 2 minute drive to the club meeting. It was nice to have a strong showing of members for our visitors.  After our normal scrumptious meal Tito began his presentation on District 3870, followed by each of the members sharing a little about themselves.  President Bill presented and exchanged club banners and the members were each given an End Polio Now pin and Virginia peanuts.


From the meeting AG Juanita member Linda Walton and I took the team to the Pamunkey Indian Reservation.  To walk through the museum is to walk through time. Beginning with the Ice Age, you are made familiar with "The People" (what they looked like, their ornaments, and their personal existence): "Their Natural Environment" (the land they inhabited, and how it looked); "Their Settlement" (the dwelling places of the people); and "Their Subsistence" (the tools they used and how they survived).   I had never been to the reservation and was very impressed with the experience.  From there we went to the King William Courthouse museum, the King william Courthouse is the oldest continuous use courthouse in the united states, established in 1725.  It's court uses a system based on the Olde English laws.
We met up with Jack and Linda Maus of the Louisa club for lunch and to bid farewell to our new friends, we were disappointed that we only had the team for such a short time.
I will note that my camera battery died so the picture are stock photos, I hope to add some pictures from the team later.
