But, Capn Cold Steele, "shirker" is my best and most practiced impression!

Paul,

Glad to hear it! It has been a while since AHT, but we'll do it just as well or better this year.

It would be nice to have a reunion of sorts of the "Stillwater Guards" at BGA in Company F. A fine group of men.

Boys, I can't offer a cash bounty but by golly I can bring pie! If you sign up for Co. B I'll cart some of my wife's excellent fried pies out to Pennsylvania for you.

Hey Boys

I just registered for Steele's company and it said that there are only 17 days left for registration. You need to get a move on if you are going.

Gents,
Company F of the 1st regiment, Murray’s Brigade for BGA Gettysburg is now at 14! Let’s keep these numbers growing as this is NOT an event to be missed.
The Company F Roster is as follows:
Brad Argue
Jon Droska
Dave Frohmader
Paul Hadley
Jim Hurlburt
Brian Jankowski
Tom Klas
Daryl Koehn
David Laspa
Austin Motte
Jason Reinholz
Thomas Steele
John Wedeward

Whether it is Co. F or another company, get signed up for Murray’s Brigade. Find a company, find your pards and get registered. There is extensive planning going on and I am, among many, excited to see this event kick off!

I’d love to see more quality, eager faces in Company F. But, I’m sure if “F” doesn’t suit you, there are plenty of other excellent companies under outstanding commanders in the 1st Regiment! Find one and sign on!

Well... That certainly raised the bar for adjunct events. At moment an old Heathism comes forefront to mind.

I agree, quite a memorable quote. And we will never forget the rebel squirrel!

Re: 24th Mich - CPH Brigade at BGA Gettysburg June 27-30, 2013

Yeah, I bet Heath's still trying to figure out who put that squirrel in his tent.

Thanks to Will and Jeremy and everyone else who put this thing together. Great event!

Gents,

Greetings! If you are on this email, you were in the 24th Michigan and 1st Maryland at BGAburg. As we broke up at the end, we promised to keep you informed of upcoming chances to “get the band back together.” As we look forward past the end of the 150s, there is a great chance brewing.

Last time we were together, it was on eastern soil, Gettysburg. This opportunity it will be western soil and actual land – Perryville, October 7-9, 2016! A few weeks ago, we got in a conversation with Rob Murray and Joe Beedle. They want to put a regiment together for that event. At the end of the conversations, Will pitched that we would provide the left wing of Rob’s effort.

We want you to join us! Will Eichler will serve as major and wing commander. Jeremy Bevard will be the sergeant major. There will be a few more jobs to fill. The portrayal is being finalized, but we can say it will be across the field from Herb Coats and the WIG CS battalion. Though a lot of details are in the air (face it, some of you are just done with Bentonville and others are joining us at Sailor’s Creek this weekend) we can say the goal for each company this time will be larger. Our goal is to see 40 man companies in the field.

This email is a “save the date” notice. Let us know if you are interested, please. We will put out more as soon as it is available, via email, web, FaceBook and the A/C.

Hope to march with you all at Perryville, Oct 7-9, 2016.

Yours in history,
Will Eichler and Jeremy Bevard
