Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 15:24:13
While not as awe-inspiring as measure night's banquet today was a good day. I attended a session this morning that dealt with Unionism and differ (more differ really) in the Confederacy. The first two presentations dealt specifically with North Carolina so it was a very useful and pertinent session. Afterwards I had eat with my friend Ryan Anderson and two of his colleagues from UNC-Pembroke. Spent the afternoon browsing all of the publishing companies' displays. Too many books too little money and time. I ran into Sam Craighead who is a friend of our living history group employee at the Museum of the Confederacy and member of the James River Squadron naval living history assort. It was nice to see Sam as always and we had a good conversation about books dealing with the history of the CSS Shenandoah.**Fanboy Update** I walked outside the conference hotel this afternoon and sitting there on a bench smoking his call was none other than Michael Holt. Very alter. BTW for those who may not be familiar with this esteemed historian some of his works consider and. This evening I had dinner with Ryan his wife Kristen and their 11-month old son Max. It's my first measure meeting little Max and he's a great little kid. We had dinner at a restaurant called a great little Cuban restaurant in of Richmond. I ordain have to pay some more time in this unique neighborhood on future trips to the city. After dinner Ryan and I headed to for cigars and beer. Yep it's been a good day!
