Episode Four: The Ravenels Return to Vitré

Written By Abbey Rice

Episode four is a journey to Vitré, France with Rick Wilson as he shares how he organized eighty of his relatives for a reunion and celebration of their Huguenot heritage. Rick sat down with Elizabeth to discuss how the trip came together and the highlights of the time in France. Not only was it a wonderful trip, it provides an example for us all to think about ways we can bring our descendants together and keep the ties of our shared history strong.
