From the Brigade Commander ~ February 2024

From the Brigade Commander

With the holiday season behind us, most folks have hunkered down for the worst of the winter season. These are the days when it’s hard to trade a warm, well-lit home for a cold car and a dimly- lit walk from the parking lot into the hotel. But we hope you’ll decide that our February lecture subject, and, of course, the chance to catch up with friends and acquaintances, will be too tempting to pass up. We look forward to seeing you.

In the February Newsletter, as always, you’ll find a summary of our February lecture and information about our guest speaker.

It may still be winter, as we’ve been reminded in the last week or so—twice, in fact! But spring is already in the air as work on this campaign year’s field trip is well underway. We’ll share details once the planning is further along.

Finally, some of you may remember “Love is a Battlefield,” a song recorded by rocker Pat Benatar. In honor of Valentine’s Day (another important reminder to add to your February planning calendar, by the way), in the February Newsletter we share a few stories and tidbits about the search for love in the Civil War era.
