I have been having fun too, but lately not Civil War related. I just got back from a nice visit to Yosemite and Napa Valley.
I think I speak for all of us in saying our forum has been a good gathering spot for us birds of a feather to flock together. Thank you all for your participation.
Lamar, you understate your role. Among other things, you helped us learn that the monument law regarding cannon ownership is an urban myth at least on the National level even if it may be covered by some state and local ordinances in places outside Virginia. Perhaps others from different states have access to their local law databases to find out what the rules are there. I'd be particularly interested in Massachusetts, NY, PA and Ohio.
Joe, you are a late bloomer, having relatively recently arrived on the scene, but you have made up for your late start with enormous contributions. Your knowledge is impressive, broad and deep.
Thanks everyone for keeping this forum active. Carl and I both have relatively new positions and not a huge amount of time day in and day out to spur conversation so appreciate all of you priming the pump here.
