an interesting perspective on the history of Rappahannock County became instead a pasting together of excerpts from a hacked up document.

There was no
'waste land'
To the Editor:
While not wishing in any way to belittle the contribution RAAC has made to our community since 1982,1 want to answer Sid Gottlieb’s statement that eight years ago “Rappahannock county was a cultural wasteland. There was no organized group to support the arts and entertainment in the county.”
Since 1963 the Rappahannock Library has sought to support the arts and artists in the county and to provide informative, “cultural” programs for the public. All library functions are free and open to all.
A sampling from the library’s scrapbook 1963-1984 reveals:
1966: Slide show, “Wildflowers,” photographed in Rappahannock County.
1968: Reception honoring local authors, including Ed Harris.
1969: July Fourth Exhibit of carvings, pottery, paintings, needlework, metal and leather work, books by local authors, and band music.
