You never know who you might have as a guest at a program and how you
might impact their lives. Recently, I experienced one of my most moving moments
here at Colonial Williamsburg, which I wanted to share with my colleagues. I have
been privileged to be able to offer the Capitol harpsichord concert on Sunday nights
for almost seven years now, and the following is one of the reasons I can honestly
say that each time it is a new opportunity for me, and more often than not, I feel
that I have received much more than I have given. At a recent concert I had a young
person as a guest who was very animated during the performance, and I try to engage the guests as much as possible by giving them an opportunity to sing along
at the end of the program. This person was singing with all his heart, not exactly
on pitch, but the spirit made it beautiful to see and yes, hear. During my playing I
made eye contact a few times and this person was quite attentive to my hand movements and would look at me and smile with such emotion behind it, that I was
moved to try and perform as best as I could.
After the concert I always try to greet each guest, and there was this person waiting for me. I went over and this youngster said with teary eyes how beautiful music is, and to be able to sing was very special. I proceeded to express my thanks and
was interrupted by the guest explaining to me that hearing was a new experience due
to lifelong deafness. The miracle of a cochlear implant has made hearing a reality. I
was given the rare joy and honor to be the first live musician to perform for this
guest, and to able to sing together was rich for us both. Needless to say, I was very
moved by this wonderful gift we exchanged, as were several of our guests who overheard the conversation.
Once again I am reminded of the gift that is given to us at Colonial Williamsburg
by being able to share ourselves with our guests. You never know who is out there
and how you might help change a life by your gifts that you share. I have been fortunate to have performed for many high personages in my career, but I think that
this is truly a pinnacle that I feel blessed to have shared.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>
