Re: attn SKULKERS

Sweeet,

I will expect a rematch of the Pilot Knob match, that elbow drop from the bench was classic.

Pillars,

I will most likely see Dunkum at Nashville (as I usually do every year, along with Varnell).

Does Friday have a mullet yet?

Re: attn SKULKERS

Meyer-san...how goes it old friend? BTW, my cell phone has been turned off...so we'll have to make use of the land line.
Am ready to get back on this CW kit. Couldn't find a Regimental History of our unit. BUT, there is a compilation of diaries from boys in the 103rd. Just saw it online...haven't read any of it yet. Will advise. BTW, gimme something to do....some sorta research venue would be cool. Just tell me what you need me to do. MMMM-kay.

Love and stuff,

Min-Sue

Re: attn SKULKERS

I'm in. I ain't seen half you guys for years. What a trip.

Re: attn SKULKERS

It is imperative that we all registered as soon as possible. Does anyone have an updated roster for our group? Have three from here in the Commonwealth of ol' Virginny. Also, anyone have any advice for researching at the National Archives? Am going before the end of the year to pin down some info on the 103rd Illinois. Will be looking for insight on uniforms and arms.

Re: attn SKULKERS

I can check 'Arming the Suckers' for weapons...

Made contact with Friday, he wants to go.

Working on that list...

Are Kenny or Kevin confirmed? Bub? Jimmy Evans? You've got to add a lot of spice when making Jambalaya! - Shane

Re: weapons

RAY DUNKUM! Nice one. Gonna be a gol'-dern reunion. I'm worried what the neighbors might say?!?! Perhaps Ray will bring his tools and make us all bayonets! Sooooo, can you write up the group as it stands today? 4 DEC 08
I know we're bringin' 'em in 5 by 5. Please advise. Bravo-Six, out. BTW, anyone contacted Frank Aufmuth, or Laula Middleton?

Re: attn SKULKERS

Pills,

I do not have a copy of arming the suckers, does anyone know if the ordnance report refers to muskets in stores or ones that are issued? I am assuming that there were more soldiers present and accounted for in the regiment than 169.

anyway please interpret the report for us idiots. Do I need to be looking for a 61 springfield?

Thanks

Ryan
