Paula,

Many thanks.  I can say that the fellow portraying General Longstreet bears 
a close resemblance to the general's photos and that Mrs. Longstreet and I 
had a conversation about research and writing, and I believe that she is 
working on a book on Longstreet's staff officers (which I, for one, would 
buy!).  Nice folks.  They also had a splendid, mostly well-behaved dog. 
Meeting Longstreet enjoying a cigar at the Pry House was somewhat 
incongruous!

Curt
