bearingdrift.com: Hampton Roads delegation split on RPV chair

May 11, 2008

The Shad Plank: At least trafific didn't hold up the meeting ...

blog.vivianpaige.com: A tale of two meetings

April 30, 2008
Saturday morning, I attended a symposium on regional unity, sponsored by The Future of Hampton Roads, Inc. The event featured a panel comprised of Dels.
