VERY nice new website!! Thanks for putting in the time and effort on that. A couple of things I should relate to you now while I've got you on email. Along with Connie Lawson(UDC-Vallejo), I am putting together a grave marking ceremony for Major Joseph P. Vaughn, who is buried in the Benicia Cemetery. We are planning this for 10:00AM, Saturday, October 4th, 2008 and there will be riflemen, UDC, SCV in and out of uniform from our Camp and I hope your Camp too. We will be installing a bronze marker for Maj. Vaughn, who left Benicia in 1862, traveled back to Missouri to join the State Guard, He fought in the battle of Lexington and was promoted to Major and led the MO 6th INF REG at the Battle of Iuka where he was killed. There will be a picnic afterward down the hill in one of the City Parks (we have it reserved). Do you know any buglers?
Also, your men may want to know about the Duncan Mills reenactment over on the Russian River July 19-20. For the past few years I have brought an old oak "recruitment table" for our SCV Camp in Sacramento to share with the SUVCW Post in Santa Rosa on Saturday. There are two reenactments during the day and tons of suttlers and displays. Probably the second best and nicest site for joint ACWA and NCWA reenactment.
Also, I will send you Wayne Ford's email address(our Adjutant....didn't notice if you had it posted). Sorry to hear about Woody. He was quite a trouper!
Thanks again! Lou
