Re: John Crabb on the cover

I was hoping this would be so.

Eric, there is an exceptionally fine image that should be already in files--one of John, Beth, and, if I recall correctly, their granddaughter, submitted as a possible cover a couple of years ago.

I am glad to see John on the cover. It is more then classy.

Re: John Crabb on the cover

Regardless of the high repute Mr. Crabb appears to have in the community, it's a darn fine photograph in its own right and thus fitting tribute.

Attached are three ambrotypes struck at various Ft Duffield events.
It was an honor to have met the kind gentleman and Family.

Excellent to see Brother John Crabb on the cover! Good tribute!

We will miss his company, but know he is never far from our hearts.

All the best- Johnny Lloyd :wink_smil

Re: John Crabb on the cover

I have many fond memories of John ( Shiloh, Marmadukes, etc.) but probably my
favorite was from Fort Duffield 2006, where Joe L. and the boys of the "sutler patrol"
taught me the fundiments of picket duty ~ John must have laughed heartily as they
perused his wares and told him the tale.
John was a good man, and a great friend. I can think of no higher praise.

I most certainly agree!

Re: John Crabb on the cover

I never got to meet Bro. Crabb in person. I did talk with him over the phone while ordering some tin ware. I have been away from the Website due to some health problems. I was sad to read of his passing. I know that I join the other members of the Widow's Son's in conveying our deepest sympathies to his family. Bro. Crabb, May the Wind Always Be At Your Back! So Mote It Be!
