Title:  George Washington and his Legacy
Speaker:  MSGT Jeff Dacus (U.S. Marine Corps, Retired)

Title:  Photographers at the Vancouver Barracks
Speaker:  MAJ Jeff Daviss (U.S. Army, Retired)
From the earliest days of the Vancouver Barracks, government-sponsored artists created pictures and engravings, documenting the history of the installation.  In addition to official images, private individuals took pictures of the daily life of soldiers and their families.  They ranged from many anonymous photographers, to soldiers, to General’s Daughter, Laura Lee Otis, and, “That Man Marcell!”  Come learn about these people, and see examples of their work!
