McRae Papers donation

[Canebrake Rifle Guards]

Folks,

You may remember the CS haversacks I was offering last year. I have only one left. It sells for $275.00.

I will offer this one for $275.00, of which I will will donate $50 to the McRae papers fundraising effort.

To see this haversack go to http://home.earthlink.net/~cwkepi/id3.html

Thanks, Greg Starbuck

Thanks Greg!

That's a very generous offer. I'm biased of course as I purchased one of these last year and couldn't be happier. Anyone who does an ANV officer impression should seriously take a look at this offer. Thanks again Greg, your always a strong supporter of good causes!

Greg,

I sent you an email.

Re: McRae Papers donation

The haversack is sold pending payment. I'll have a check to Shirley soon.

Maybe we can figure out a SC kepi fundraiser for McRae. Any suggestions?

Sincerely,

Hmmm,

I dunno, how about a SC documented haversack? I know David Chinnis has done a number of the Yancy Dean haversacks. The original is at the SC State Museum. A very neat, all cotton, double bag variety with closure string. I love mice!

Regards & Many Thanks!

Greg,

Do you still accept PayPal?

Neill-

I'm thinking a cap rather than a haversack. Haversacks don't thrill me as much. It would be nice to do an Inabinet kepi, but that something that needs to be discussed with the SCCRR first.

Re: McRae Papers donation

Greg,

The Inabinet cap would be a great choice. I'd suggest contacting Sarah Wooton to discuss. The only hang-up is that it's a family loan and we'd need permission. Doubt it'd be a huge deal though. So folks know, the Inabinet cap is an ID'd 20th SCVI piece with a solid history. I've always believed it to be an aid society piece due to the funky cloth covered bone/seed buttons. The cap is rather crude and exhibits grey/brown jeans, very thin non-functional chin strap and a running stitch through the oilcloth sweatband. It also has a two piece body ie. no band and painted board visor. A great article for sure. Let's put our heads together and see if we can get the ball rolling!

Thanks for your efforts & interest,

Voles get no respect. Not even in the Palmetto State. :tounge_sm

Re: McRae Papers donation

Neill-

Next time you see Sarah or Allen, why don't you run it by them and see if they can figure a way to work it so that all parties are taken care of properly? I'm swamped trying to get my new visitor center operational, and also helping the Monitor Center with a project that is due before their opening.

We can probably work something out like we did with the Morgan cap ($20 or more per cap going to the SCCRR). E-mail me directly when you get some facts,

Regards,

Greg Starbuck
