GDG- Retreat From Gettysburg

[JIM COOKE]

George, thank you for your hospitality today. It was a rare treat to stand on your hilltop and see the viewshed. Ed was equally thrilled; just how often do you hear him say "I've never been there before".
Thanks again.
Jim

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


I had the privilege of meeting Ed Bearss and his
"Retreat from Gettysburg" tour at our Daniel
Donnelly House today.  

This was a first, for Ed, for us and undoubtedly
for the those on the tour. It was a beautiful and
clear day and I think all enjoyed it.  Both Ed
and I were emphatic with those on the tour about
it being PRIVATE PROPERTY and NOT open to the
pubic.

I hope at some point in the future we can host
the members of the Gettysburg Discussion Group
for a retreat from Gettysburg tour and show first
hand what happened where on Falling Waters Road
and on and near the Donnelly House - July 14,
1863.

As all in this forum know, Ed is a very special
gentleman.  I made this offer to him nearly two
years ago. I hope to have the opportunity do help
him out again in the future.

Cheers,

George F. Franks, III
Daniel Donnelly House (1830)
Williamsport, Maryland
