One of the greatest things about the Quadricentennial was the many hours of fellowship with old friends, as well as meeting new friends, all brought together by a love for the providence of God in history.

Our dear friends Mrs. Cindy Cone, her son Preston, and security director of the Jamestown Quadricentennial, Dr. Leonard Holyfield.  We knew we had good security with him around.

May there be many more such events in the years to come!

The Erber family and friends, of Liberty Day fame, once again reenacted the second Virginia convention.  Great job!

What a joyful evening to see the John Smith Award go to the beloved attorney (yes, those words can go together), Christopher J. Klicka.  Read all about it here.

On a personal note, Mr. Klicka was an important inspiration in my life in gaining an interest in studying law.

The Jamestown Quad was swarming with photographers and filmographers.  This was certainly an event to be remembered!

With so much happening at once, the media guys were constantly on the go.  Nathaniel’s moving pretty fast here.

Our blogging friend Caleb gets a quick shot at the opening reenactment.

And yes, even yours truly managed to come home with well over 1000 pictures!

The grand finale of the Jamestown 400: Our National Treasure Hunt was full of information that only the code-cracking treasure hunters fully appreciated.  Since I was not among that select group, it would be extremely difficult to try to explain it here.  The bottom line is that 400 gold coins were at stake…

…and tremendous perseverence and skill at code-cracking was required to reach the final rounds.

 Congratulations to the winner!
