Ladies and Gentlemen,

I spoke to you individually about meeting this weekend. Regrettably, I suffered a setback with my amputated leg. I endured two surgeries, but the infection was cleaned out. I should make a full recovery but will need a new fitting for a prothesis. Far more serious were the two blockages in my heart. I now have 2 stents and am feeling much better.
However, my condition prevented my from fully preparing for the meeting that was scheduled on Saturday. I apologize for any inconvenience that has caused. I will take some time to heal and will meet again in the coming year.
In the meantime, I will post a proposed schedule for the upcoming year. Please inform me of any events you want to attend. My goal is to have everything in place on the schedule by the end of the year.
Again, thank you for your patience. This is an exciting time to be in Revolutionary War living history as we prepare for the 250th cycle of events.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I remind everyone of our meeting at the American Village on Sat. Oct. 18. Please read the earlier post for details.

In addition, Michael Martin, Michael Araiza, Cade McCool, and Shane Lee agreed to serve a color guard for the Veteran's day dinner on Nov. 10 in Birmingham.
Gentlemen, I apologize I only have tickets for those actually taking part. The village only purchased one table, and there will be other staff sitting with us. You are welcome to purchase a septicket, but I cannot guarantee you will sit near us.

A new trunk for Captain Ziegler. The pattern was copied from an original in the collection of the Muhlenberg house in Trapp, PA. I will line the inside using a facsimile copy of an original Pennsylvania Chronical newspaper dated October, 1769. Let me know what you think.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our next meeting will be Oct. 18 at the American Village. We will meet in the barn. There is no need to come in unform or other period clothing. We will discuss the upcoming year, and i will post an agenda shortly. The meeting will run from 9:00-4:00. although we will probably let out sooner. Lunch will be on your own, unless there is enough interest in a "pot luck" sort of affair.
