: Diana, your post made by day, and then some! The reward I feel from positive feedback is the greatest reward of any we receive through this web site. It is what keeps the juices flowing.

: I know I've said this before - many times - in various fashions, but the most disheartening thing of all is looking through the access watch stats each day & seeing only a couple of clicks on a link I'd posted here on the Board for people to see. You know, you spend all this time - and sure, thousands will eventually see, and we'll even receive e-mail from some of them - but it's always your family's recognition that you seek. So, when this "family" turns its back, it IS depressing. Conversely, when you manage to evoke a response, it is very rewarding ...

: So, thank you many times over. Glad you found it; glad you let us know!

: By the way, Fort William Henry has been soundly criticized, in many circles, for its poor interpretive presentation. We have too, to a lesser degree, for promoting the Fort. We strongly feel Tim has got things on the right track, and that a key F&I War site will soon be a place worthy of visitation. We are proud to associate ourselves with Tim & hope to assist the development of his program through our visibility. Seeing that through will also be a great reward!

: Maybe someday you'll mosey over to our Braddock's Defeat article?? Sure, we'll wait!

Thank you, Rich, Diana, and Sara for jerking a big ol' knot in my tail and getting my attention. I have visited "From the Ramparts" (only for a brief moment) and after these posts I do plan to feed my hunger for knowledge about this fort and period in history. It's amazing what a little ol' movie can do.

So, this is now on my agenda of daily doses of history. My mind is like a sponge for this information. I only wish it had been when it really counted, like in school! (I hated history) Again, it's amazing what a movie, a gathering, an encampment, etc. will do to ya!

Thanks!
Theresa
