Any one know where they stand on the fund raising?

Jim,

Check the latest issue of CWH for an article on the McCrae papers. I think they said they were within $8,000.00 of their first goal.

Sending off the AC subscription amount of $500 to SCCRR tomorrow morning.

Thanks Paul.

Dusty,

As each of us and our respective organizations move into the "final six weeks of the calendar year" gift giving mode, would you be so kind as to give an update on the fundraising status for the 2008 ACPP? While I realize it has only been a couple of weeks, finding out how close we are to helping the SCRR knock out that $8,000 would be a good thing.

Maybe a couple more of those $40 loaves of bread or $300 pies would help matters, if you know what I mean.

Charles,

We enjoyed the bread very much...only wish we could have scrounged enough funds for a pie.

Paul,

I'll be interesting in hearing how the lads enjoyed their desiccated potatoes. I've served these a few times, but not everyone has fixed their own in soup, hash, or whatever.

Some little possum is going to enjoy some white hominy by the tree in front of the overseeers house (left flank of the federal line), and if anyone noticed the log construction of that house (under the second siding and board and batten) then they saw some fine work in what appeared to be yellow pine. That's a late 19th century house with an addition, from what Jimmy Newton said (D.P.'s of White Oak Museum fame's brother), and Jimmy gave us a little bit of a farm tour explaining some of the buildings and crop/cattle/poultry activities in the years before the land was sold to developers and subsequently sold to CWPT. Late Sunday evening, I was happy to confirm the site of the CW era farmhouse, which was way over by the airport, and close to the old road by the windbreak. I have to wonder if that was the site of the infamous "sharpshooter chimney."

I need to add a couple of comments to another thread....

Charles,

I update this thread when something happens

We have collected and sent nearly $2000 to the SCCRR for the preservation of the McRae collection.

If anyone has any extra gas money now that prices have lowered, send it along.

Dusty,

Thanks for the response. I'll see if a few "gallons" can be found between now and the end of the calendar year.
