Cabinetmaker

 

Well, as I noted before, January is the month for much needed repairs and restoration around Colonial Williamsburg. Here, for instance, crews are putting the finishing touches to some erosion control measures around the cabinetmaker's shop. From what I could see, the work included upgrades to drainage systems, paths, and lawn.

Refugees

 


This quote in Cadbury's book was in reference specifically to the plight of Jews in Germany in 1938, but it occurs to me as being as applicable to the plight of refugees everywhere.

Cadbury

 


Just finished reading this work by Deborah Cadbury published in 2022 after seeing it on the shelf in my local public library. This is not your typical book about the horrors of Nazi Germany. Rather, it's about the courageous work of a woman determined to make a positive difference in the lives of children traumatized by war through education. I highly recommend it.
