December Talk
There were a number of show and tell items presented and the discussion centered on the talks for 2012.
In Sympathy
Our sympathies go to Eric Wible for the loss of his father John. John (Jack) was a faithful member of our group and passed away on January 3, 2012. We will miss him very much. He was a Civil War Living Historian and played the bugle coronet on many occasions.
