Gentlemen, Just curious as to when everyone will be arriving at Ft. Hartsuf? If I can stay on schedule I'm planning on early Thur. afternoon. Hoping to get settled-in and have time for a tour of the fort before dark. With all the goings on last year I only got a quick look at the officer's quarters. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Oct. Al.

Several of you have e-mailed or called me on phone to indicate that you are coming but haven't sent in the formal registration forms. I really need the formal registration soon for a couple of reasons.

First, there are a couple of classes where I need one more registered shooter in that class to be able by GAF rules to award medals to the top 3 places. Without that 1 registration I will only be able to award a first place medal in that class. I want to have ALL the medals engraved prior to the match this year.

Second, I  need to know how many shooters handbooks to print.

Third Delmonico needs to know how much food to purchase.

And finally, and I think this is pretty cool, I was visiting with a board member of the Friends of Fort Hartsuff, last evening and he told me that The Friends had invited the Freemont Pathfinders, a (semi-) local reinacting group, to come to Fort Hartsuff that weekend. Now the cool part of that is that if they do indeed come they want to put on a "live fire" Gatling gun and cannon display for us and this would give us a recruiting opportunity. The down side is that it may make it kind of crowded at the fort. We have first rights to the barracks, but if you're are coming make certain you have a bunk reserved by getting your registration to me soon.

Also, if you need to be in the same squad with someone you're sharing equipment with or just want tio be in the same squad with someone, let me know I can try to accomidate those requests.

Remember the Muster is only just over a month away.

If we're short on space in the barracks, the Gatling gun can sleep with me. ::)


WAY TOO COOL, Col.!

I don't think it can be stressed enough, the 2009 GAF National Muster will be unique, and never to be repeated in all it's elements.

I did; however, think to offer to store it for the Pathfinders the last time they had it out here. 8)
