     Despite rain, heavy at times, the SAR celebrated the 236th Anniversary of the patriots' victory at Kings Mountain in South Carolina.  Fortunately for the attendees, the National Park Service set up tents for protection from the rain. The Virginia SAR attendees included 1st Vice President Mike Elston, 2nd Vice President Pat Kelly, Surgeon Kirk Sheap and his wife Norma, Trustee Reverdy Wright, Peter Davenport, and Bill Schwetke.  Elston, Kelly, Davenport, and Schwetke participated in the color guard.
