The next day, the three of us went to Virginia Historical Society talked with people who had photographs of the Chamberlayne School, St. Christopher's when it moved west, and the McGuire's School, some of which Deb had copies made and knows that we have originals of others. Took her back to campus and showed her the archives, while Susan stayed at VHS and started going through files of Dr. Chamberlayne and the school (seven boxes). I returned to VHS and we worked until closing time on the boxes. We got through about five of them.
