About this Event
The After Dinner Hour Conversations starts with moderator Jim Johnson, Ph.D. guiding guests, Robert Selig, Ph.D. and Bob Capps, M.S. in a light-hearted colloquy about one of the best known group of Revolutionary War French troops, Lauzun's Legion. How does a person today reflect on their ancestor who was a Lauzun Legionnaire and stayed in the US after the war to leave a proud legacy? Where will the conversation lead that uncovers some of the rowdy antics of these lively troops? Join W3R-US for this fun Got-To-Meeting virtual event to find out!
