There was no power play for anything. Mr. Lamason failed to perform the duties as he was assigned and refused to ask anyone for assitance. Which was forgiveable. We all make mistakes. What the real problem was his nonstop raunchy, sexual innuendos and lewd behavior from a married man, toward several married women trying to help organize the group. He was asked nicely to stop and didnt. So before you go placing the blame on others you should look to Mr. Lamason first. There was never an attempt by anyone to take over the GHA. Better get your facts straight sir.

When will you be in Gettysburg? I will be there from Thursday afternoon March 11th until around noon on the 12th. Does that match up with you?

Thanks for the invite but, sadly, it’s a 6 hour drive for me to get to Gettysburg. Oh, how I wish!

You’re an honorable guy, and I greatly appreciate your stepping forward and protesting, because otherwise, the rest of us never would have known. You get all credit for that. Thank you.

You’re welcome to hang out with us any time. I will be in Gettysburg for the weekend two weeks from tomorrow, if you’re going to be around.

Eric

You were smart pulling out like you did. I was thrilled at first to be a part of the GHA, was thrilled that Lew had recommended me for the Steering Committee and had actually gone to the meeting.I was impressed with Jim’s mission and his vision. When things came up about Lew I heard their side of the story and kind of went along with it but in my heart something didn’t feel right, didn’t add up, I was wishing Lew could was there so I could hear both sides. I remember at some point Jim bringing it up to allow Lew back in, I could very much understand his thinking because I was thinking along the same lines. Then the proverbial brown matter hitting the fan this past week openned my eyes and I could see what had been going on all along and knew what I had to do, resign. There really is two good things that came out of my association with that group and one was forming a friendship with upstanding people like Lew Taylor and Jim Lamason, the other was getting to know Eric Wittenberg and JD Petruzzi and become familiar with their work and dedication to the Civil War era, two very honorable men who’s company I wouldn’t mind being in.

I have deep respect for Jim, but with my ultra-crowded personal and professional schedule, I had no time for yet another project so I decided not to join GHA despite my personal support for Jimbo. I get enough controversy as a business executive; I can’t stand to see my hobbies become political.

Even the “old” agenda isn’t very clear other than, apparently, to “honor” the fallen (Union, of course) soldiers. Well, that seems relatively straight forward. I thought that they WERE being “honored”, actually, and that another association, organization, foundation or group would be an embarrassment of riches hardly needed to do what was already being done. Therefore, if anyone would care to answer, I would like to know the following:

1. What was the ORIGINAL agenda other than just “honoring” folks – or if it was just “honoring” them, why and in what way would that agenda be accomplished that would make it any different from what already exists?

2. What did the NEW agenda become? Did it include the OLD agenda? If it did and was not diametric to the old agenda, why the need for all the spilling of blood? What the hell could be so important in such an organization that would cause people with better things to do to put up such a battle? I can understand the founders; it was their idea and doubtless a lot of work went into it. But why the invaders? A Godzilla complex – or was that Sherman?

3. Did the purveyors of the NEW agenda have any members left in this organization after they drove out all the people who supported the OLD agenda – and if they stood alone at the end, why didn’t they just form their OWN organization with their OWN agenda rather than play coup d’etat with this group? It seems a hellovalot of effort and energy to rain on someone else’s parade, frankly.

Some folks have too much time on their hands.
