That is great to hear, Laurie!

I second Roger, and wish I could be there to see the vintage car scenery. (If anyone snapped a photo, could you post?)

We did get some photos, and I will try to remember to have some sent to Roger to post. I'm not talented in the computer arena. An interesting photo from yesterday's encampment shows one of the soldiers demonstrating the power of a single Civil War bullet by shooting into a gallon milk jug filled with water. We had a professional photographer on the grounds who was able to catch the entire process on film - from the moment it hit the jug to the water flying in all directions. It gives a good "feel" (pun intended) for what happened when a bullet hit a human! P.S. My volunteers saved over three dozen milk jugs over the past few months to assist in this demonstration.
