Prince Henry Sinclair and the National Geographic Society
Hello!
On Monday April 8, 2002 there was a free concert of traditional Scottish
music at the headquarters of the National Geographic Society in Washington,
D.C. It was called "The Scottish Tenors" and was part of the Tartan Day
Celebration.
During this program, members of the Clan Sinclair presented to the Society
a statue of Prince Henry Sinclair by Scots sculptor Shawn Williamson, books
and information about Prince Henry Sinclair, and a picture of the large
statue of Prince Henry Sinclair that Mr. Williamson is carving and that will
be installed at the Nosshead Lighthouse near Wick, Scotland. The National
Geographic Society was founded in 1888 by a grandson of the Scots inventor
Alexander Graham Bell. It promotes scientific research, exploration and
conservation.
The concert was well attended and everyone gave an enthusiastic response
to Prince Henry Sinclair.
Sincerely,
Susan M. Grady
Alexandria, Virginia
