GDG- Preservation: Rebuilding demolished houses?

[jack]

laurie.

it's the tead dances i'd like to recreate. Down at the old, discredited, 
Longstreet Headquarters they used to have tea dances years after the battle. 
that'd be great. period costumes, chinese laterns, guys in great big 
moustaches with sousaphones...the whole routine. that's somr reenacting I 
could get into.

Regards,

JacK
