I just learned tonight that my wife's family is related to the Sheaffer family, whose farm was the hospital where Dan Sickles leg was amputated. What's really cool is that we'll be marching right...

I've just managed to update my web pages for the march. Stop by and check it out. If you see any broken links or other problems, please let me know.

Thanks!

The time is counting down to our step off. If you have a desire to join us for any part of this effort, please contact me asap. I will have room for a few folks who'd like to park their car at my...

Just to remind folks that this event is a go still. I've been contacted by a few folks asking if it is. Contact me in email if you have questions. Address is on the site.

Incidentally, in the past we've been the objects of a lot of civilian kindness to tired soldiers. If you've a civilian impression and would like to interact with our little band as we move along,...

Here's the deal.

Dave's had to bow out of running the show due to work scheduling problems, and from what I hear there's no one able to fill his shoes. I don't have the time to run a big march...

I'm stunned and saddened to hear of this. There are no words. My prayers go out to his family and friends. :(

Oh, the ironies! I'm glad you had that split second of good sense to turn as you fell. Hope your body bounces back well.

I like the idea of the new story line. Remember, it's all about the...

A wholly inadequate "Bully!" to Brad as well. ;)

Well done, sir. Wish I could have seen you there. I'm delighted you had a good time. :)

Julio,

I probably won't attend either battle reenactment. I will be a part of the "fifth alternative," the Sixth Corps March. If I do anything "old timey" after that I will probably try to get a...

I concur wholeheartedly on the "one does not put on events for self interest." ;)

It's not the hardest thing I do, but it ranks right up there.

Oh, Julio! :(

Man, you look like you just went a couple rounds with someone a lot bigger and better looking than me. (Easy to do, on both counts. ;)

Dang. Hope that you heal up fast, my...

It was a delight to finally meet you in person! I'm most pleased that you enjoyed the weekend and felt it worth your drive and effort. :)

You're five towns up on me as Mayor. I'll have to take...

I know they were in there! I saw some! :)

An amazing team did an amazing job. There were some hitches and glitches but I can tell you that, on the whole, the spectators felt as amazed as you all were, even after Fox's Gap.

I'm toying...

Are you on Facebook? Search for "Scumdog." He's the only I've seen with that name. :) I think he's on here too. If that doesn't work, send me an email and I'll put you in touch.

Here's a longer version of a quote below. You may find it as amusing as I did. :)

Here is another example of what now would seem to be the...

Legendary! Wow! :) My many thanks, dear lady, for your enthusiastic support and encouragement.

Recent efforts near the village of Boonsboro and also the area of Broadfording, Md. have absorbed...

Dave has the lead on organizing the Sixth Corps March this time around. I'm supporting with logistics and perhaps walking a stretch or two. :)

Here's the link to the pages on my web site that I...

JRF,

I'm involved in putting on "Maryland, My Maryland." We're the group that's been doing good events in Boonsboro and other venues for more than twelve years.

You can check out our web site...

I'd like to contact a group that might be doing this impression.

If you know of someone and can either post or message that info to me, I'd be more than grateful.

For those who were not able to attend this singular event, here is a photo gallery of what some of us did/saw.

MANY thanks to Julio Zangroniz for...

Priceless! :)

Perhaps someone should contact Mythbusters and enlist their help for making the necessary measurements? They've got the tools, they're fond of making things go boom. Seems like a natural for them. ...
