Gainesville DAR chapter treated to member's play

GAINESVILLE – At our most recent meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, members of the Col. William Candler chapter performed the award­-winning drama written by our fellow daughter, Dr. Lynda Holmes.

Holmes wrote the nationally recognized play "Exploring Our American Heritage with the Apron Mavens," which received a first place award in the American Heritage Literature and Drama Contest by the NSDAR this past summer.

The one-­act play chronicles a family preparing for a soldier's homecoming, and two young women learning about women in the Revolution while discussing their common, household aprons. Holmes, a Flowery Branch resident, is a published author, a teacher and serves the chapter as the Literacy Promotion Chair, among her many other accomplishments. 

Members of the cast and the roles they played. L­-R: Cleda Locey (Jayla)? Jan Courter (Aunt Mill)? Connie Tucker (Vonelle)? Donna Hulsey (Mary Hays)? Brenda Young (Mary Kate Goddard)? Alyson Shields (Elizabeth Zane)? Cheryl Ray (Margaret Corbin)? Dena Westbrooks (Anna Strong)? Martha Trimbach (Mammy Kate)
