Leif Eriksson Celebrations
Dear Laura,
This would seem to tie in with your own expected arrival in
America. Perhaps, we can
arrange a link-up.
Niven
Dear all
Susan Green Grady has sent me information re next year's celebrations. It
can be found on
www.leif2000.org/Events.htm.
There is to be a Viking
Exhibition at the Smithsonian next summer and an Assembly in
Philadelphia,
Pa. in October with a dinner on 9th October. There will be a gathering of
ships in August at L'Anse Aux Meadows, Newfoundland hoping to be in
Halifax,
Nova Scotia on Aug 26/27th.
Are there any plans to participate in these events? I will try to come to
something if it makes sense and helps beat the drum. It might help to
cement
the good work done by Niven on his recent trip. Thoughts please. There
was
an article in The Times here last week saying the Northern Scots got to
USA
in 800's before the Vikings. It was likely to have been a Sinclair of
Viking
descent!!
