GDG- Who would it be?

[Lisa Malandra]

I think it would be great to talk to any or all of the officers in command 
on the 1st day of the Battle of Gettysburg.  Maybe Sickles & Howard as they 
ate dinner on the 1st at the hospitality of Mrs. Elizabeth Thorn.  What were 
they talking about, what were they expecting the next day, what did they 
think about what had already happened that day.
Let's not forget Gen. Buford, I'm sure he was worn out from the days' 
exertions as well as disheartened at the loss of John Reynolds.  For that 
matter, I'd like to talk to John Reynolds and ask him the "truth" about 
"Dear Kate"!!
Too many Generals, not enough time.  Oh well, we can dream, right?!

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


On this cold & windy Winter evening in Gettysburg, I will submit a fun 
question to occupy a few moments of your time. If you had the opportunity to 
speak to any historical figure from the past, who would he or she be, and 
why?
I would love to sit and have a drink with Mark Twain. Find out how he 
developed his wry sense of humor despite his tragic life.
Also Benny Havens, the infamous West Point Tavern keep. I would want the 
dish on all of those naughty cadets!
Happy 2008 & Cheers!
Bernadette
