On Wednesday, March 1st, we'll be raising the Welsh flag over downtown
Columbus! Join us at noon at the West Plaza (High Street side) of the Ohio
State House for a proclamation from the Governor's office, Welsh folk dancing,
and the raising of our flag. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony
will be in the North Hall off the Rotunda before we proceed outside for
the flag-raising. (allow plenty of time for parkingspaces may be hard to
find if the lawmakers are in session that day)

When on a recent trip to Alaska, Johanna Jones Keiser, visited
the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. Johanna noticed a picture/text
display of
early pioneers of Anchorage. Featured was Evan Jones, born in 1880 in
Wales. He came to Alaska as Superintendent of the Moose Creek Coal Mines.
He married Bronwyn Morgan of Iowa. He later founded his own coal mine
in 1921 and named the settlement Jonesville. How about that? Welshmen
have certainly contributed much in the settlement of North and South
America. United States, Canada, Patagonia.
