: Hi Sarah!

: Good to hear from you!  I was thinking about what you said at the Gathering while I was waiting for this board to finish....it does take a while because of the massiveness of it, but I'm glad so much is here.  I try to read a little every chance I get, but like you, I sometimes get lost.  Even with that, I'm glad all of it is here.  Like Aunt Bee said when Opie was struggling with history, "Well, there's more of it everyday."  How profound!

: Again, good to hear from you.  I'll report on Fort Toulouse when we return.  I don't think Clabert has been there.  We have been in touch with each other about that.  I know he would like to go someday.  

: Oh, and how is Mike?  Tell him hello from Claude and me.  

: Theresa

: : Hi Theresa,

: : I think Fort Toulouse is one Clabert goes to but he'll have to comment on that.  Whether he does or not, the old forts are great places to go!

: : I thought I would mention that a fabulous monthly newspaper covers F&I (plus Celtic, Rev War, and War of 1812) events across the country (e.g., where are Morgan's Rangers fighting behind the cactus in southern California this month??).  For those interested in knowing what's in their area, it's a great resource.  You can subscribe at http://www.smoke-fire.com/.  

: : Also, I know Rich and Elaine keep up a good list of F&I events but for the life of me, I can't remember where -- I can't keep up with this site it's so amazingly BIG!!  If I go look for it now, I'll get lost reading something, and then go to bed very late entirely forgeting I was going to post this post.  Rich, Elaine?? HELLLP!!
