OU'VE GOT AN OLD WENCH as your guide today." I was surprised by those words, but for Pat Howard, dressed in Colonial American costume, it was all part of a performance, courtesy of Annapolis Tours and Watermark Cruises. About a dozen of us, includingmy son, an attorney in Washington, D.C., had gathered together that sunny day for a walking tour of Annapolis, the Colonial town on Chesapeake Bay founded in 1649 as Anne Arundel Town in memory of the beloved wife of Lord Calvert, proprietor of the Maryland colony.
