Eugene L. Meyer
Eugene L. Meyer is an award-winning journalist and a former longtime reporter and editor at The Washington Post. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Washingtonian, CQ Researcher and many other national and regional publications. The author of two previous books, “Chesapeake Country “and “Maryland Lost and Found…Again,” Eugene serves on the board of the Washington Independent Review of Books. His most recent book is “Five for Freedom: The African American Soldiers in John Brown’s Army.”
He lives with his wife Sandra in Silver Spring, Md., and is a contributing editor for Bethesda Magazine.
Paula Tarnapol Whitacre
Paula Tarnapol Whitacre is a transplanted New Englander who lives in Alexandria, Va. Early in her career, she worked for The Washington Post and as a Foreign Service Officer. She became a freelance writer after D.C.’s “Blizzard of 1996,” when she realized she could make a living from home. Currently, she writes and edits for the National Academy of Sciences, NIH and other organizations. She is on the boards of Friends of Alexandria Archaeology and the Civil War Roundtable of Washington. Her own mid-life transition and interest in local history led her to research the life of abolitionist and suffragist Julia Wilbur. Her current book is “A Civil Life in an Uncivil Time: Julia Wilbur’s Struggle for Purpose.”
- Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon
underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.
- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.
- Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
