I also just learned that my neighbor of over 2 years is a Civil War enthusiast and often participates in re-enactments along with his wife. He is a professor at the University of Findlay (started the pharmacy program there recently) and is doing some research pertaining to the role of medicine in the war.

I would have never guessed him to be an enthusiast but it is surprising how many of us there are.

What I see you doing is passing your passion for studying the War to the next generation. One day when we are gone, hopefully his son will carry the torch.

I was at a reenactment in NC signing copies of “No Such Army..” when a young reenactor and his dad came by my table. The young Tar Heel bought a book and explained to me how he enjoyed reading Civil War history. I was so impressed with this young man, I gave him one of the bullets that came from the battlefield and showed him on the map where it was discovered (recovered legally on pvt. land). You should have seen the sparkle in this kids eye. I knew at that moment I was passing the torch!!

You did a great thing.

Wow..he’s still working at the station. Used to listen to Q96 all the time when I was going to school at Ohio University in Athens. 🙂

Only way we could pick the station up was subcribing to cable radio, which back then was a buck a month. 🙂

And that was expensive.:)

Hope all is well.

Will do.

You never know where you find connections such as this.
