I want to show you some of the treasures from our collection. Lets go take a look. We are located in the old Norfolk City Hall that was in 1850 and given to the macarthur memorial in 1984. City hall contained nine galleries that chronicled the life and times of general Douglas Macarthur. It answers the question, why is the macarthur memorial in norfolk . The short answer is mom. Let me show you a photograph of his mother and the family estate. The family estate is on the south side of the city. It is now a city park. Here is macarthurs mother who was born in norfolk and had Four Brothers who joined up to the Confederate Army from norfolk during the civil war. She was the youngest of the children. After the war, she met a man named Arthur Macarthur who had earned the medal of honor in the battle of chattanooga. They fell in love. When they got married, her three brothers who had served in the of Northern Virginia army and the cousins found other places to be during the wedding ceremony.
Margaret Rhodes, the Queen s cousin, recalled that following the 1936 Abdication - which resulted in her becoming Heiress Presumptive - Princess Elizabeth had prayed hard for a brother.
There is plenty about modern life to cause celebration and aggravation in equal measure.but it is never safe to make an assumption about how the different generations feel about anything, from vegans to scented candles.
