: : Good show, Mike, and WELCOME back! Of course I remember you! You'd be surprised; there are others here who'll remember you as well!

: Thanks for the Welcome Back, Rich.  It's funny -- I hadn't even thought about this site in a long time, and then I heard the LOTM theme during the Wimbledon broadcast, and it all came flooding back.  I wish I could have attended the Gathering.  I'm amazed at how big it was.  

: : I agree whole-heartedly with both you & Susan as to the effect of the field of Gettysburg, particularly the site of Pickett's Charge, on one's soul. Standing where a North Carolina regiment took cannon shot - point blank - so very close to their objective, is an awe-inspiring place! It makes my eyes well up just typing the words here at my computer ...

: It's very erie.  The ground just looks... "wrong," somehow.  I can't really explain it.  The locals around there talk as if it just happened recently, too.  Everyone has a story about their great-great-whatever Grandma feeding the retreating Confederates, or treating the wounded, or something.  I went to school with Weikerts and Trostles, whose old farms are on the battlefield (no longer in their families, although the Culp farm is).  

: : Hope you peek in on the doings now & again!

: I shall.  Thanks again.

: Humbly yours,
: Mike Zeares
