Greetings again, all, As I said in the earlier post, my (I like that "my"!) librarian said that they have that book in that small rural library, and I don't know whether she meant in the system as a whole - that involves over 15 libraries, I think, in our county. I remember that an older sister of a girl that I used to go with in high school told me after she'd left home and I'd written her that she liked getting a letter from me - that it was like talking to me. I think that you'll find that, once you start the memory tap flowing ... that other memories will come crowding in, and it'll rather surprise you: I guess that memory banks produce some interest. Jannie ... don't sell yourself short, please ... see, even a short message from you piqued the interest of a couple of other readers among the rather small number who have posted. jodi ... and others ... how about a tape recorder? gayle marie ... don't bother with a shrink - come here. And ... we're free! Kidding aside, many have found that ideas that they've brought foward have produced some interesting and useful responses, including things that they hadn't thought of, and on occasion a different slant on a subject about which they'd done some thinking. When we get our books written ... ... they all get passed around here, via email, right? As they'd be too thick to post here. (Or would some of us be too thick to understand 'em?). ole joyful

Konrad,

My brother and I are volunteers for the national parks. Several times a year a group of guys and gals play the years 1859 thru 1872. Those years, the the Royal Marines and the US 9th Infantry Company D occupied the San Juan Islands. Look up the "Pig War". Most soldiers playing the Royal Marines are Canadian. In August is the big weekend we call Encampment. (See link below) Friday night until Sunday night, we stay in character as it were 1860. The first photo above was taken with a 19th century camera. Second photo, digital, 4th July parade
So to answer your question, yes reenactment.

Eric

I think that that is wonderful volunteering for the National Parks and doing the reenactments. I'm thinking about doing that for my local state park...They have something similiar where you step back in time, 'Pre-1840 Mountain Men Rendezvous'...when trappers, tradesmen and settlers will rendezvouse' after a long cold winter to trade and show their wares...I haven't actually seen this event but since Ive picked up photograghy been to this park alot and just love it and want to show some kind of appreciation for having it around...will be going to that event....

Anyhoooo, those ARE nice presentations, Eric!

Konrad, Yes, a pig was killed. The pig kept getting into the farmer's potato patch. He finaly got tired of it and shot the pig. The rest is history.
