Mrs. Carol O’Connor Oliver, American History teacher at Culpeper County High School, had a most attentive audience when she spoke to the members of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution at the Sept. 10 meeting held in Culpeper United Methodist Church. Mrs. Zillah Gutowski and Mrs. William Spillman, Jr. hosted the meeting.
Mrs. Oliver’s topic was the Origin of the Constitution of t^he United States. She is well versed on this subject as she holds her masters from the University of Virginia in American History, and this summer, she attended Just University in Boston for a session on “The Constitution.”
Mrs. Oliver said that 55 delegates from 12 of the 13 original states assembled in Philadelphia in May, 1787 and of that delegation, 29 had graduated from colleges or universities and all were very intellectual.
She further stated that Benjamin Franklin was the oldest (81) and 26 were under 40 years of age. James Madison was the master mind of the Constitution.
Mrs. Philip Cox, DAR Constitution Week chairman, read the preamble to the Constitution and told of the many planned activities for the week of Sept. 17-23.
During the business session, conducted by Mrs. Dale Metzinger, regent, the 1985-86 budget was read by Mrs. Philip Brewer, treasurer, and was accepted by the chapter membership.
