The Descendants

 

In this ninth episode of 'Meet Me at the Wall,' we gather for a special segment with descendants of two other women pictured on the Sweet Briar wall: Frank Mountcastle and Maeve McGuire. We dive into a rich conversation about historical letters, family connections, and personal stories. Highlights include the delightful moment of Maeve's first connection with Anne, Frank's recounting of reunions, and reminiscing about the vibrant lives of their mothers and grandmothers. This episode intertwines the significance of letter writing, historical traditions, and lasting friendships.
