Moire, a resident of Cornwall for over 40 years, is a Bard of the Cornish Corsedd. She is well known to California Cornish Cousins, having first visited them in 1993. She was a member of the Cornish-American Connection Project in the 1990's and began collecting personal letters from American immigrants to their families back in Cornwall as a part of that project. The letters provide an intimate glimpse of the 19th Century Cornish migration. She will be speaking after the Banquet on Saturday night.
