GDG- Family to get credit for Civil War artifacts

[Ron Chaplin]

Jim, I also agree with you.  It's unfortunate that it's not enough for the
family to take satisfaction in the fact that their incredibly generous gift
allows thousands of visitors to more fully experience the conflict.  They
want to have their names on plaques that I, for one, recently, barely
glanced at before heading for the musket/rife exhibit.  Was gaining
recognition the only reason for the gift?
