Whether this will entice you to come out or to stay in bed longer, I am pleased to announce that none other than TIM SMITH will be joining me for at least the beginning of the Spangler's Spring tour. Among other things, he'll provide the real story of Jennie Wade, Wesley Culp and Jack Skelly and we can only hope there will be Canada Geese in the area for our amusement!

The project is a CD containing all but two of the ~238 pictures in the Gettysburg Park Commission Reports, 1893-1904, book in THEN & NOW pairs. The images are arranged by maps and submaps and each image is captioned. The images are viewable side by side or overlapping to really see the then & now effect. The CD also contains historical essays and other information. We will have a computer set up so that you can play and of course will have copies to sell at 30% off to GDG-ers. Although the price has not been set, I think it will retail for ~$25 (~$17.50 at Muster).

Hi Garry -

And for those of us unfortunate enough /not/ to be able to make this 
wonderful event, would you happen to have any (pre-)ordering information?

Thanks,
Alan
