It was my pleasure, and I’m glad you enjoyed the talk.

The story about your wife is a hoot. Thanks for passing that along.

Eric

It was a pleasure finally meeting you as well! Your talk on Stuart’s Ride was one of the finest presentations I’ve ever heard, in large measure to way it just flowed. I felt as if Stuart was on trial, we in the audience were one big jury, and the counselor in front of us had just eloquently convinced us all of his “innocence.”

Coincidentally, my wife, who is NOT into the Civil War, was on the Gettysburg battlefield that very day taking a work-related seminar tour on lessons in leadership. When we talked later that night, she was delighted and anxious to tell me all about what she had “learned,” including how Stuart was late, that he had foolishly left Lee blind, that he was severely reprimanded by Lee, etc., etc. 🙂

It sounded to me as if the instructors had only watched Mr. Turner’s movie as preparation for the seminar. Had I not just heard your presentation, I would not have known any different myself!

Not only is there one, there are five, if you count the one in Ann Arbor. It’s alive and well.

As a former Michiganian, I am glad to hear that there is an active Civil War Round Table in Detroit. I am further glad to hear that they had enough sense to invite you and to showcase the corpus of your opus–I mean the complete body of your work! I look forward to hearing one of your “off the cuff” speeches on Stuart one of these days. Until then,
Best wishes always,
Lanny
