Our newsletter will be more fully filled
out with news of interest from our officers, members, and other contributors
beginning next month. For now our
newsletter will act as a reminder for our upcoming meeting. Our officers are: James Staton, Camp Commander; James
Young, Lieutenant Commander/Recruiter; Mike Guffey, Adjutant/Treasurer; Jimbo
Richeson, 2d LtCmdr/ Newsletter Editor/Webmaster.
Our Camp members enjoy participating
in the Scott Hogsed Annual Youth Conservation Day event at Brasstown, NC, just
south of Murphy, NC, as re-enactors in the skirmish held there commemorating
the skirmish at Hanging Dog, one of the last armed engagements east of the
Mississippi River. We also actively
memorialise our Confederate soldiers/sailors with graveside ceremonies, like
the one recently held at Cleveland, Tennessee.
The newsletter will also have monthly
Commander’s Comments, Adjutant’s Reports, Chaplain’s
Messages, occasional editorials, and guest columns, as well as articles by
members and their families on their Confederate soldier/sailor ancestors.
