I have been having trouble, updating to xp pro, but so far so good. I'm going through MANY e-mails & I'll try to get some stuff out tonight & the rest in the next few days. Hope everyone had a great holiday season! Desoto Joe/The Record Man

Desoto Joe, Sounds like we had a similar problem. My computer had been down the last month but now with a new one I am also back online. I have just revamped the Missouri Civil War Museum website (I am no longer webmaster for the Missouri Division SCV--that was taken over by Brad Cornwell.) If you get a chance check it out, maybe buy a brick or two. I will be adding new material all the time, including a picture gallery of Missouri Civil War soldiers and leaders. What's nice about the museum, we promote both sides Union and Confederate. St. Louis County has been very generous granting us ground surrounding the building. We are getting a roadside adoptahighway sign for the museum. We will be planning some grand events, including bringing some nationally recognized speakers. Watch for us next month at select Wehrenburg theatres for "Gods and Generals" movie. We got permission to set up a table inside the theatre lobby to promote the museum. Desoto Joe, keep up the good work, I sure enjoy your postings. I am recommending your mailing list to all the museum staff. --Scott Williams www.missouricivilwarmuseum.org
