GDG-preservation and living in Gettysburg

[Bill Bretzger]

Jack-

I don't know about the ridge line, visibility on the field, etc., but  
if  we're referring to the site of the Econolodge, I can say for  
certain that I am glad the former "hotel" was NOT preserved.

And this is from someone who misses, to a degree, the Home Sweet Home!

The waiver, though, is troubling. Like to know more about that.
