Re: Lie...
William,
Your post got me to do something I rarely if ever do, look for a Camp Chase. I would not be too upset about this, considering the magazine it was published in I would recommend just letting it go and moving on.Last edited by JimKindred; 02-15-2008, 12:18 PM.Jim Kindred

Re: Lie...
William,
I agree with Jim. Take the source into account and let this one go. I marched along side you and your French comrades at BGR and I can tell you that no one feels this way about all French reenactors. You have my respect and the respect of many others. The incident at Gettysburg happened almost 10 years ago!!

Re: Lie...
Hallo!
Noone owns a monopoly on unsafe reenactors or events that they frequent.
But, I think for clarity.. that was the incident from 1998 Gettysburg 135th, where a French reenactor using an alledgely borrowed Remington revolver shot another reenactor with a live round in the neck.
I did not, and do not, think that the incidient reflected on anything other than the event and more particularly the individual.
His being French is irrelevent, IMHO.
Ce la, est rien.
Besides, my former neighbor was French. ;) :) And my wife's best friend is a French teacher. :)

Re: Lie...
CCG should take a bit of flak on this too, What is the point in airing 10 year old issues now? I agree with Curt, this should not reflect badly on the French, more on sloppy editorials.[SIZE="2"][/SIZE][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]John Hopper[/SIZE][/FONT]

We have more ears due to firing in real bullets that makes too much noise and more guy’s no more, every time we arrival at 50 on an event, we return to 2, on this matter if Americans want to immigrate in France, they are welcome, because we miss guy’s due to firing with true bullets...Pleaseeeee... Come NOW:tounge_sm

Re: Lie...
William,
Nous avons aussi un certain nombre de gens qui ne pratiquent pas des procédures de sûreté de base. I, pour un, ne pensent pas moins à vous ou n'aiment pas les camarades occupés en France ou en Europe du tout concernant l'incident à la reconstitution de Gettysburg il y a des années. Maintenez le bon combat là-bas et Dieu bénissent. :)
Respect,
JohnJohn Sarver
