The Lost Colony Center for Science and Research (LCCSR) and the Roanoke Lost Colony DNA Project may soon join forces! I have been in contact with Fred Willard, the director of LCCSR, and we are making arrangements to meet and discuss our projects and how we might assist one another. Our goals are the same, although the approaches different, so it only makes sense that we give each other a hand. Mr. Willard has been involved with a lot of exciting work on the Lost Colony. For more information on his work, visit his web site at the link above. I've asked Mr. Willard if we might meet at the upcoming Lumbee Powwow. If he is not able to do that, I will likely be paying him a visit on the Outer Banks sometime that weekend. I will post any additional news as it happens.

The Lumbee Fall Powwow will be held in Lumberton, NC, October 31 - November 2, 2003. I will be attending in the hopes of making some new contacts and to acquaint people with the project. I've designed a nifty t-shirt that should get folks asking some questions! I'm looking forward to a good time!

WSNL, AM 600, Flint, Michigan, contacted me and wished to conduct an interview about the Lost Colony DNA Project. A transcript can be obtained (in WORD format) by following this link.

My first post to the weblog. News in itself.
