    You are invited to join us for Jocelyn’s presentation. This gathering also gives Interracial Conversations an opportunity to say good-bye to the Blizzards before they move to the Los Angeles area for Joycelyn's new job. Linwood has been involved with IRC since its inception and currently serves on its steering committee. The Blizzard family has left an impression on the Northern Neck in the 10 years that they have lived here.
