Conference Reflections from Keynote Speaker Ret. Brig. General Frances I. Mossman

We just received this note from my good friend and keynote speaker, Brig. Gen. Frances Iwalani Mossman. 

I wish to share the credit for this with all of the speakers, presenters, museum coordinators and staff, the National Council for History Education, and the officers and directors of History Education Hawaii. I am personally very humbled and appreciative.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Bingham Mead, 

President, Co-founder of History Education Hawaii, Inc.

CONGRATULATIONS, Jeffrey!! 

You put together a very interesting and productive first conference for the History Education Council of Hawaii. May there be many more such conferences and programs.

I very much enjoyed meeting the presenters and attendees at the first day of the conference, which I attended. I am impressed with the important work they are doing and their commitment to education and their students. I plan to follow-up with several people to learn more about their programs.

You have been an avid, determined and relentless advocate of the history education vision, purpose and mission from the very beginning. Yes, I clearly remember our early discussions about this program and its potential. Without your vision, dedication and guidance, the History Education Council and program for Hawaii would have died years ago.

This year’s conference established the concept and benefits of combining educational presentations with visits to actual historic sites, memorials, and museums. This combination has great potential.

Thank you, Jeffrey, for inviting me to be a part of the program and your team of dedicated educators.

Very best wishes for the success of your future endeavors,
Frances
