It will rise for the federal legion to place the flag.

David 0:24

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. May we have a moment of silence and bear in mind our college recruits who are in harm's way in areas of combat. We thank the Lord that those helicopter pilots were rescued today.

Oh, I'm sorry. And who said

David 2:16

no? Okay. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? The Mayfair meeting brief and resolutions are approved by unanimous vote. Citizens' time. Do we have any citizens or Republicans to speak? We would like to welcome our guests and thank you for your interest and attendance. Germans' time. That's me. The only thing I have to say very briefly As you know, the digital gateway is still on hold while the Supreme Court of Virginia determines whether or not it is going to hear TTS's case, which I understand it will not even decide until it reconvenes on its summer recess in September. If it does not agree to hear the case when it convenes in September, that's the end of the matter. If it agrees to hear the case on the merits, briefing will occur probably during the month of December.

David 3:23

There will be oral argument probably in January. We won't get a decision until next summer. So let's hope that we can kill that one and dip that one in the bud. That's all I have. Vice Chairman's time.

Unknown 3:37

David 3:38

Thank you. Members' time. Three minutes each. Anybody? Yes. I was going to bring up something on the Bennett School or I had a thought. Is it better to bring that up later in the meeting? We can

Alright folks, so you have me. Work your computer this evening. I am, you know, same old, same old, working on cemeteries. June is my busy month. At the end of the month, we'll be working with the Advanced Metal Detector, Advanced Metal Detector Training for the Archaeologists, so I'll be going through that at a special station. What's that going to be with? It is the last weekend in June and it is June 28th is the Saturday we'll be out in the field and then it'll be roped off while we do the work and training but Rob's going to have some folks out to answer questions. I don't know. I

Unknown 4:50

haven't been

Mary 4:50

given an agenda.

What items were on the agenda and how were they approved?

Mary 4:53

So the folks who are coordinating it have not provided me an agenda yet, so I have not been able to give Rob it. So I will, as soon as I get that information, I will pass it along to all of you. Fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later. Somebody a little antsy. because I'm also taking the training and also helping setting it up. So that's kind of what I've got going on. But our big news is that your historical commission intern is officially on day two of her internship. We have Misha here. She's working with me on cemeteries. And Misha, would you like to give us a little introduction?

Unknown 5:31
