From the Summer 2012 Powder Magazine newsletter of Fort Fisher.
Caitlin is the 2012 Mary Holloway Seasonal Interpreter at the fort.
Born in Kentucky, but moved to Wilmington as a child. Mary Holloway, who was at Fort Fisher in the early 1980s developed the program for interns in costume to guide people around the fort. Caitlin gives two tours daily Wednesday through Sunday.
Ms. Rifenburg graduated early from Richlands High School near Jacksonville and plans on attending Cape Fear Community College this fall. She says her mother worked at Fort Fisher when she was very young and that she practically grew up on the grounds.
When asked is she could have dinner with anyone from the 19th century, she said she'd have it with Colonel Lamb and his time and family while commanding the fort.
Always Great to See Young People Getting Involved in History, Especially That of Fort Fisher. --Old B-R'er
