to Lee for his fine tale of the re-enactors life. I went to the part of Battle of Westport re-enactment here in Kansas City that was held about 10 or 12 years ago. Very Interesting. Regards alfa6 ;>}Josie and I have been in contact every other day or so since we met at Athens. She was hoping to be able to join me at Fort Scott over Labor Day weekend but her work load was simply too great. We have plans to be together at Christmas and portray a domestic couple living at Fort Scott for the Candlelight Ghost Tour that is conducted every year. Its one of my favorite events. After darkness falls groups of people are led by guides with candle lanterns around the various places in the fort and vignettes are acted out by the volunteers. These little scenes are recreations of actual events. We take the names of the real people and do it all in 1st person. Special attention is given to making no eye contact with the visitors. We are ghosts. There is also a big dance and Christmas banquet. Its like someting out of a Charles Dickens novel. Josie is very excited about it. She also told me that she just turned 30 and the difference in our ages just means I've been 'road tested'. I may go to St. Louis to visit her around Thanksgiving. She is making me some new shirts and a coat.
ROFLOL. I like her sense of humor. It all sounds wonderful.

Was that an official Civil War inflatable mattress?
Now granted I'm no expert on the War BetweenThe States, but I don't recall ever reading about them....strange.
I REALLY enjoyed reading of your exploits.
