Somewhere in this photo (probably) is the drummer who led us out of the RootsTech main hall and over to the giant Mayflower model where we posed for an official photo taken by a photographer on a ladder. The fellow in green in the center is the current Governor General (national president) of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, from CO. Next to him and wearing an attractive handmade brown linen jacket, tan skirt, and dishtowel-plus-hat is moi, from AZ. Behind him in the hand-knitted green period sailors' hat is a genealogist for the New England Historical Genealogical Society in MA whom you might recognize from his photo in American Ancestors magazine. Way over on the left in the pink jacket is the CA plein air artist & author introduced to you a few blogposts ago. The rest are mainly hardy Utah Mayflower Society volunteers. (I'm leaving off the names to avoid being tagged and sent all over the internet without these people's permission.) The official photograph will likely appear in an upcoming American Ancestors, Mayflower Quarterly (the GSMD newsletter), or on the NEHGS or GSMD websites (or both.)
