COMMANDERS CORNER
By Gary Weigel

I hope this finds everyone in good spirits and health. First, I would like to tell you how very much I enjoyed seeing you all at our meeting last month. I think that we established several good unit rules and standards that are going to m ake as all better as a unit. Next I would like to thank everyone for contributing to the unit meal. It was a smashing success. I ate "Oatmeal" for a few days MMMMGood!!!!

The next item is our unit Spring Muster at the Davis' home, May 1st & 2nd. Remember bring your tentage and equipment as we will have a mini-inspection there. I also want the soldiers to complete their inspection sheets so I can review them at the Muster. Any equipment that you may have missing needs to be accounted for so we can either get you squared with it or make arrangement for you. Also, don't forget that unless your hair can be tied into a proper Que you must have a WIG.

I received a phone call last week from Willie Runk who is the commander of another Brunswick regiment out east. Pete & I met him at the Quebec event last year. His regiment is extending an invitation to us to attend an event at Hubbardton, Vermont. Hubbardton was an actual battlefield that the Brunswickers fought at on their way to Albany, N.Y. and won. :-) We would be camping on the actual field and this would give us a chance to go and be with our eastern brethren. On the down side it is the same weekend as the Indianapolis event (July 10th & 11th). We would not be able to dig fire pits (steel plates would be provided to build fires on). I have never been to this event so I can't tell you much about it, pro or con. The distance from Chicago is about 930 miles one way. I would like to take about 5-6 days because we would be close to several "Brunswick sites." I do plan on attending. Let me know your thoughts.
