The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met for a luncheon meeting at the Holiday Inn, Culpeper, on Tuesday, Feb. 11 with the Regent, Mrs. Irvin R. Kilby presiding. Mrs. Kilby thanked Mrs. Zillaih R. Gutowski for coordinating the meeting and luncheon.
Mrs. Dale Metzinger introduced the speaker, Sarah F. Hays, from “Quail at the Wood” antique shop in Culpeper.
Ms. Hays has been immersed in antiques since early childhood but spoke specifically on Staffordshire pottery which originates from the Stafford District of England.
