 | To mark the conclusion of their Atlanta visit,
Oglethorpe University president Donald Stanton hosted a reception in honor
of the Godalming and Haslemere visitors. |
 | Joining the group were their Atlanta hosts,
university faculty, and British Consul-General David Wright (far right in
rear). |
  | Godalming
mayor Mary Tomlin responded on behalf of the group, while John Oxborough,
president of the Godalming chapter of the Friends of Oglethorpe, offered a
toast in recognition of the general's 300th birthday. |
 | John also gave president President Stanton a
framed artist's rendering of Godalming to join the university's growing
number of paintings and other illustrations associated with the life of
James Oglethorpe. |
 | In honor of the English delegation, Atlanta
resident Bill Mitchell brought to the reception an original copy of the
Thomas Burford mezzotint of James Oglethorpe dating to the 1740s (a portion
of which is shown here). |
