It should be interesting at the History Day event at the Capitol next Thursday. Word is out that the first person on the agenda to receive a History Hero award is fired State Archivist Fred Armstrong.
One can only imagine what accolades his nomination might include.
The question is whether anyone from Joe Manchin’s or Kay Goodwin’s offices will be on hand this year to hand out awards - or if they’ll even be in the city.

[...] It is also West Virginia History Day at the legislature - could prove to be very interesting indeed as my friend wvstate also suggests here. [...]
