Re: Sad News (Civilian thread)

Friends,
In the August 2009 issue of Civil War News, on page 44, is a report of the memorial service held at Spangler's Spring for Charles Heath. This service was held by reenacting friends as a highlight of a living history that was dedicated to Charles and is not to be confused with the actual memorial service held after his death by his wife and family. It was a touching ceremony, nonetheless, featuring "Taps" played by one of the premier buglers in the hobby, George Rabbai. Those of you who knew and loved Charles will enjoy reading the article.

I knew Charlie Heath back in 1992, when he volunteered at Meadow Farm, north of Richmond. He was always willing to lend a hand, and his knowledge of gardening I have rarely seen again. It was a shock to come on to this site and find that he had passed away. Even after all these years I've thought of him. Goodbye Mr. Heath.
