Rodman will be set up with me but @Grenadier1758 and @rick1964 you are both invited to the hog roast Saturday evening just bring your own plate, bowl, knife, and fork if you want to say and eat at my camp you might want to bring a stool or chair.
The unit usually has a pot luck type of dinner on Saturday. The invitation is very welcome. I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone again at the June Fort Rendezvous.
How many guys are in your unit?
Generally don't know until we all get there. About 12 to 15.
June Fort is getting close. I'm going to have to start putting my gear together.
See you in a couple of days.

I grew up relatively close to there and never realized Fort de Chartres was there until after moving. I'm glad to see this happening
I hope to make it someday

That's one nice thing for me now with my box trailer, other than food it stays packed at all times.
Well, the spring Fort rendezvous is over, I really can't say I had a good time it was 20% fun and 80% hades. It didn't get below 90 degrees any of the days. At 72 I just can't deal with the heat as well as I used to. I've always preferred cool to heat anyway, I'd much rather do 30 degrees to 90, I can put on enough to stay warm but can't take off enough off to get cool.

Bill sent me the pic, I was like…Dang! Look at that old fart! You can tell it was a bit warm. The wool vest and cravat were put aside and a linen rag with crushed ice wrapped in it was used instead.

Man, I see that pic and makes me hot looking at it!!! Does anyone know where I can get a Vendor list for this past event? I left some trousers with a lady to be hemmed. I wrote everything down, but I have since misplaced the info. I am not concerned about them, just want to follow up with the nice lady. She was selling clothing and such, I bought some linen knee pants from her. They had a blue sign out front. I just cant remember the name of the business.

Makes me hot looking at your photo also...that had to be one of the most uncomfortable events I have attended.
I'm not sure about the vendor list I generally do business with the "Historical hat lady" it's where I've gotten most of the clothing for my young servant.

OK,
So I now know who and where the "nice" lady works for. They did a fine job on my trousers and they can count on my business from now on where or when applicable.
