]]>As an Ohioan, I’ll join in agreeing that we need to have something done, and will consider writing a state representative and/or the Gov. myself as well. In addition to the war itself, Ohio’s role as a center of the Western antislavery “theater” of sorts might also be noted… in September of this year, the sesquicentennial of the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue will come upon us, after all.

]]>Very nice letter! You will probably be asked to chair the committee for the Ohio celebration.

]]>Seriously, I commend you, Eric, for wading in and supporting action by your State. I must admit that every time the Wings play the Blue Jackets, and though I’ll never think any uniform is equal to the winged wheel, I admire those deep blue/red/white jerseys with CW touches. I hope Ohio, from which my CW ancestor connections arise, will do more than leave commemoration of the cause solely to the hockey rink.
Keep up the great work, and writing!

]]>We need to get Ohio to imitate Michigan in two particulars. First, they need to imitate them in honoring our Civil War ancestors. Secondly, they need to imitate the University of Michigan (hand over the heart) in showing the SEC how the game of football is played and to end this trash talk about how the SEC is better than the Big Ten.
Seriously, I thought your letter was informative and persuasive. I hope that you will be able to effect the honor due to our Civil War soldiers. You also made me proud of my home state (even though I have lived here in Texas for 28 years).
Best wishes always,
Lanny Thomas Tanton
Sad to say that NJ has yet to do anything of consequence for the sequiscentennial. All our Governor is talking about is increasing tolls, which means if I am still around in 2025, it will cost me $65 to drive to and from the Jersey Shore if I wish to spend a day at the beach.
Then again, NJ has yet to do anything about the many Revolutionary War sites either.
Hope all is well.
