[Moo] Institute of Heraldry

[J. Hughes]

Good Gentles,
 
Charles Mugno, Director of the U.S. Institute of Heraldry, and recognized by Lords Lyon and Garter as the Chief Herald of the United States, has agreed to my bringing a group of 15 to 20 interested individuals to the Institute on Fort Belvoir on 20 September. We would be there from 0800 to 1100. He would give a presentation on the work of the Institute for the Federal Government, and then allow us to access the incomparable library at the Institute. In an earlier age when there was more money available for such things, the Institute sent a couple of heralds to Europe to purchase books on heraldry.. I found particularly the German holdings impressive - better that I was able to access when I was in Germany.  
 
I will need an idea of who is interested in going. This is on a military reservation and will require the display of picture ID from an American governmental agency (drivers' lisance works).Please email me if you are interested in going.
 
Charles O'Connor
Morgenstern Herald
Herald of the Barony of Steirbacc.
