I am the fourth grade Virginia Studies teacher at Kiptopeke Elementary. On Tuesday, November 20, 47 of my fourth-grade students and I attended the Arts Enter production of “Piece of Eden.” My students, my fellow fourth-grade teachers, and I loved this production. It tied in perfectly with our recent field trip to Jamestown, and my students made excellent connections to the history they had recently been learning. One of the highlights was that my ancestor, George Yeardley, was featured as he gave Thomas Savage permission to settle the Eastern Shore.

Congratulations to Clelia Shepard and the actors, musicians, and staff at Arts Enter for a wonderful production that explained the settling of this “Piece of Eden.”

Thank you for a very thoughtful article. I have owned a home in Cape Charles for 10 years. I was not born there but I feel a closeness that I have not had any place else. I too am in the Diplomatic Service for our government having served in 5 countries in 10 years. Yet when people ask me where my “home” is I always say Cape Charles. I am thankful for your newspaper because it allows me to keep up with all of the news in the area while serving overseas. Keep up the great work you are doing.

Thank you George for so beautifully expressing what so many of us feel about the Shore. It is “home” and that is all that matters.
