L if e s t yle s
The Thomas Balch Library Advisory Commission has put out the call for nominations for honorees during the 22nd annual Loudoun History Awards program. The deadline is Monday, Oct. 6. The program each year honors individuals deemed to “have made significant contributions to preserving Loudoun’s past through collection of county documents and memorabilia, preservation of historic landmarks, visual arts, writing and long-term involvement in local history organizations.” Last year’s award winners were Elizabeth Frain, for her painstaking work detailing Loudoun cemetery and marriage records; Kevin Dulaney Grigsby, for his research and subsequent book on the Howardsville community and his acceleration of the appreciation of African American history in Loudoun; and husband-and-wife duo Georgia Ravitz and Peter Besser for their meticulous restoration of their 142-year-old house and farm buildings at East Lynn south of Round Hill. Letters of nomination should include a statement elaborating the nominees’ accomplishments. Newspaper articles, program announcements, publications or other supporting information that provides evidence of the nominee’s accomplishments may also be included. Nominations should be sent to Thomas Balch Library Director Alexandra Gressitt, including contact information for the nominee and nominator, at 208 W. Market Street, Leesburg, VA 20176.
