Claire wrote - “Walt, the tour today was absolutely amazing. When we went to lunch, everyone kept saying how great the tour was. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned so much.I hope to see you in the future. Many thanks.”
Kay noted, “Agree.. enjoyed it immensely and the restaurant was very good as well. Good job Claire.”
Ed said “It was a grand tour”
Walt replied, “Thank you all for a very enjoyable day. Your group was one of the best to have visited the GAR Civil War Museum. It was clear to me how knowledgeable and interested your members are on the subject. And it is so nice for me to spend time with people who enjoy Civil War history and who appreciate promoting the legacy of those who served as well as their families.
I want to also thank you all for the generous donation to help support the museum. I passed that on to our treasurer and Board members so you should get a thank you from them soon. You have inspired me to try and make it up to one of your upcoming meetings.
Thanks, Walt Lafty”
