Ohio Valley Civil War Roundtable program director Roger Micker made a slight tactical error when he told me I could […]
Hello to both of you. Thanks for stopping by. I have to apologize for the scarcity of posts lately. Last October I began what I thought would be a transition to retirement, brought on not entirely by my design. In my line of work, and in this economy, prospects were bleak. But I was OK […]
