: I found this board after reading JFC’s books, (Deerslayer and LoTM), to discuss these and the period history, but I have been thoroughly impressed with your enthusiasm for the movie and have vicariously enjoyed the gatherings.
: It seems some are talking about the gathering as being the last, and that would be a shame, as I’m afraid interest in this page might wane as well. It also seems that you are yearning to become a re-enactor’s society, dedicated to the period, (while, of course, keeping your love for LoTM at the forefront) …. Why not do so?
: You do such a fascinating job in your correspondent reenactments on this page; it’s the next step. It seems some here are eager to don the “wench and breech-clothe” look, and I’d bet the rest only need a good excuse. :-)
: If meeting at the movie site is getting stale, why not elsewhere? The Glimmerglass? Fort William Henry? The real LoTM Country? You can always return to the movie site in the future.
: I know I’m an outsider here, but great-googli-moogli, I would sure hate to see this all fade away. Such an expansion in the scope of your society sure would keep the interest fresh…. And it sounds like it might even inspire health and vigor.
Final Gathering? We just meant final JUNE gathering for 2001!!! How many can make it back in August...OK September...DO I HEAR OCTOBER????
