The presentation was on"Alexander Hamilton: New York City and Foundation of a Founding Father"
This was a very interesting presentation on a very unique founding father that is revealed on our ten dollar bill, serving as our nation's 1st Secretary of Treasury.
As then President and current VP Programs for the La Rochelle Chapter Of Huguenot Society, Gov. Wayne Rogers has subsequently asked this speaker to present this Presentation again, for the La Rochelle Chapter, since Alexander Hamilton is a Huguenot descendant, and spoke fluent French.
