Will anybody be attending the opening of the Monitor Center in VA March 7-9th. I am bringing a group of federals from the Erie area down and was wondering if anyone else was attending?

Yes, I will most certainly be there. A group of at least 13 from the USNLP is attending, in addition to a crew from the Tidewater Marine Living History Association. Further information is available from the Mariner's Museum. We are PSYCHED! Oh, excuse me...we look forward in anticipation.[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=4][FONT=Verdana]Bob Dispenza[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

"The publick give credit for feat of arms, but the courage which is required for them, cannot compare with that which is needed to bear patiently, not only the thousand annoyances but the total absence of everything that makes life pleasant and even worth living." - Lt. Percival Drayton, on naval blockade duty.
"We have drawn the Spencer Repeating Rifle. It is a 7 shooter, & a beautiful little gun. They are charged to us at $30.00. 15 of which we have to pay."

Re: Monitor Center Opening
It's not March 7, 8 & 9 but March 9, 10 & 11. As long as you show up that weekend the dates don't matter.
