ix Fairfax County historians are offi cially movie stars now. The men responsible for a new documentary, S“Mosby’s Combat Operations in Fairfax County, Virginia,” were warmly welcomed and praised after the premiere of their fi lm in two nearly sold-out showings at Photo by Cinema Arts Theatre Sunday night, with more than 300 tickets sold for the event. The men spent a little over two years working on the docu- mentary, which features a series of visits to areas where Col. Amber Healy John Singleton Mosby and his men camped, conducted their raids, captured Union troops and interacted with sympathizers and opponents alike.
“When we got here today there were at least 25 people /The Connection waiting” before the fi rst showing at 5 p.m., said Chuck Mauro, one of three producers and six commentators in the fi lm. The historians take turns telling the stories of Mosby’s actions, combing historic photos with on-site shots that are now houses and intersections where once stood taverns, stores and open fi elds. Between showings, Mauro, along with fellow commentators The men behind the movie are, from left, producer Steve Sherman, commentators Tom Evans, Chuck Mauro (standing), Don Hakenson (sitting), and Bert Morgan, director of photography See Documentary, Page 7 and narrator.

ictoria Tran had one thing to say in her Honor Graduate Address to Vthe almost 500 graduating seniors of Fairfax High School: “We made it.” Their four years of hard work rested in their diplomas they received on Thursday, June 16, in front of family and friends. “It’s very surreal, I’ve spent so much time here over past few years, putting all my energy and dedication into it, and now I’ll be moving on,” Sam Bechert said. He will be going to the College of William and Mary next year, applying to the business school and to play football. “I can’t wait to see where the path takes me.” The graduation, which took place in the Fairfax High fi eld house, began as the blue- robed and capped seniors walked in, passed under an archway, and sat in anticipation for the fi nale of their high school career. This was an especially historic gradua- tion, Principal David Goldfarb noted, as it was FHS’s 75th anniversary. He spoke to the students about how great the seniors’ parents were, as they watched fi rst steps being taken, accompanied them to the bus stop for the fi rst day of school, and were their fi rst teachers. The seniors stood and Fairfax High School graduates toss their caps in celebration. applauded their parents and then their high school teachers. a myth: “It’s can’t be done.” While people purpose,” he said.
