GDG- Briefly Delurking - What I'll be doing on my summer vacation...

[Bob Guthrie]

Looking for "must do" items at the 'burg this summer, and also for 
preparation...

I plan to be taking the (hopefully) soon-to-be Mrs. Guthrie to DuBois to 
meet the family in July, along with her two kids (m-13, f-11) and then 
for additional Pennsylvania vacation.  Being a boomer, vacation must 
involve a trip somewhere fun, and Hershey meets that requirement, and 
somewhere educational and fun, and Gettysburg is the target.  Academic 
schedules for the summer session being what they are, the plan is to 
make this a mid/late July trip.  I know this will just kill the Lawrence 
Brothers, but I plan a stop at Penn State to introduce the lad to a good 
college other than Notre Dame...  We're figuring 3 days in the 'burg.

I plan to engage one of the LBGs give us a tour of the field to get the 
three who've not visited before oriented to the field.  There will be 
the ritual stop at LRT and the climb up BRT, and of course, a stop at 
the National Cemetery...  Now, it has been many years (roughly 40) since 
I was a rookie visitor, so any other suggestions for things to do with 
three rookies will be most appreciated.   Also, to get everyone started 
I planned on having a dinner and official viewing of "the movie", and 
we'll read Shelby Foote on the trip from South Bend to DuBois...  Other 
getting ready suggestions are also solicited and will be gratefully 
received.

Thanks!
