IMCC Program

The program at the IMCC went off very well. It was well attended by the
public. Some bugs still remain with the amputation senario, but they
are minor in nature. I need to add extractions of mini balls to the
demo's

The hit of the encampment was the display of weapons and canon balls.
It was hands on and interactive.

Jim Beckner and James Crofutt did a great job in the discussion forum.

Everyone looked sharp for the first time out this year.

Hunt,Conversations at Brownes

While having breakfast this morning at Brownes Irish Deli Pete Maher, editor of the Midwest irish Focus, sat down with Maragaret and I. We had a wide ranging conversation covering many topics. IMCC, the Gaelic Mass next year, the Elders and their upcoming pub tour of Ireland, and the Ghost hunt at the Wornall House Museum.

All in all it was a great morning, sitting in Brownes, having bangers and eggs and oj and good conversation with a good friend.
