      I can't wait to get into Kisatchie. My kit isn't the the most accurate, but I am slowly but surely getting there. Hopefuly, my "real life" Army job will not keep me from attending.

      William,
      Please bring some of the same chocolate that you did for BGR. I want to trade for something from Texas. Tell me what you want and I will get it to you

          William,
          I prefer black. The country of origin does not matter. What would you like from Texas?

              Wanted.

              All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

                    As my memory doesnt fade too quickly, I remember bring a handful of the delightful little peppers to our brothers across the waves when they attended the Franklin Event a few years ago.
                    A few of these peppers can spice up almost every meal adding a unique taste that shall be remembered always.
                    The REAL Texans have been known to put one in their mouth and slowly suck out the juices on the hottest of days. They keep them in their mouth the whole time they are out working in the hot sun. Although quite spicey the peppers keep the mouths moist and preventing cottonmouth. At least it does and did for me.
                    Might I also suggest dicing the little fireballs and mixing them with your period mustard?

                      And perhaps dip the little buggers in some fine Belgian chocolate for the officers' dinner.

                            Haha, believe me I'm swingin' for the fences trying to make it happen. My last hurtle is convincing my dad, but I'm working on it with some help.

                                At BGR there were a few men who re-created ailments serious enough to require treatment at the ER. Not much fun, but they were authentic other than the intervention of modern emergency medical care.

                                This year, we are asking for volunteers to have some slip and fall accidents, burns and perhaps a snake bite.
