Everyone said they enjoyed it and I haven&#8217;t seen the group sit so quietly and listen intently, for an hour before! The way you presented it with the film show and pictures on the screen was also very interesting. It felt as though we were there with you! Your presentation skills made it all the more &#8216;real&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location: Ealing Central Library.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Numbers: 40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nice to have a mix of talk, video still photos and Q and A.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excellent talk with slide presentation.

I think the whole audience was riveted. I certainly was. She was an excellent speaker on a most interesting theme and she dealt with questions very well too. Virginia Morris integrated different elements into the presentation very smoothly and seamlessly. A big thank you to Richmond Libraries for putting on this event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virginia Morris was well informed and it was nice to find out about unknown history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fantastic \u2013 presented with imagination.

It was a subject that could have done with some more explanation of what happened during the war but no doubt time was not available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interesting, I liked the photos. I think some more background of the place and politics by mentioning informative books in the library for reading would be helpful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interesting and informative.

I enjoyed the interviews with Vietnam Vets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia welcomes requests from those wanting a talk on her research work.
