Thanks especially to jessica who worked with me whose idea it was to do something for this commemoration. We met over lunch and from there it grew. Then we partnered with Historic Columbia. But sponsoring this event also is the History Center at the university of South Carolina. And thanks to tom lincoln and mark van drill for all you did to make this a success. Another contributor was the graduate school of the university of South Carolina. Thank you, all of you for your help and support.
