Heather, It is nice to hear from you. It has been a long time. Hope you are well. Don Clark

Hi Folks, I hope this is appropriate for the list, but I am assisting in organizing the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, here in Gallipolis. The tent will cover a wide range of counties surrounding our area, including: Lawrence, Jackson, Meigs, Cabel, and of course Gallia. Ancestors do not have to be Ohioans for a direct descendant to qualify, though they must have served for the U.S.A. Pre-acceptance into a local Society of Civil War families is a plus, but is not a guarantee of acceptance; but it does mean that you have the hard part done :-) Anyone with an interest in joining, can contact me as I am one of the recruiters :-) [email protected] For more on the organization please see http://www.duvcw.org/ Thank you, Linda Trent [email protected]
