Our Four Days In May for 2010 that we just completed to Gettysburg was a complete and total success, according to EVERYONE that was on this tour. Troy Harman was our Tourguide and did a fantastic job, according to EVERYONE that was on thiis Tour. After we checked into the Hotel in Gettysburg and ate an evening meal, we adjourned to the Hotel Conference Room for a dual presentation by Troy Harman and James Getty. On Friday morning, we met the new Superintendent Bob Kirby at the Visitor's Center who spoke with us and answered some questions for about thirty minutes. We then began our Tour of Gettysburg with Troy giving his different vision of "Lee's Real Plan At Gettysburg" (the title of his book) which completely enthralled our group.

We basically covered Days #1 & #2 before retiring to our hotel for a freshening up and change for Dinner at The Dobbins House. After our REALLY GREAT meal, James Getty, (joining us again with his real life wife) gave us aanother wonderful presentation about being Abe Lincoln.After this, we had a chance to meet and hear Nicholas Redding of The CWPT who spoke about their work and our mutual opposition to a Gambling Casino anywhere mear Gettysburg. I have had the chance to get to know him a little, having been part of their Teleconferencing calls recently about Preservation. I then made a presentation of a $500.00 check to him comprised of $200.00 proceeds from the Thursday Bus Raffle and another $300.00 from the Boston Treasury. Dexter Bishop of The Northshore Chapter then made a $150.00 Presentation to him from their Treasury. Nick was thrilled to have the chance to meet and greet a great group of people up close and personal, and see our passion for solving our mutual problems. On Saturday, we began witrh a couple of hours at the Visitor's center for the film and The Cyclorama and some shopping for more Civil War books. Troy then fininshed up the day with Culp's Hill, Pickett's Charge, and Cemetery Ridge Touring. Aftger this we returned to the hotel and changed for ANOTHER GREAT meal. at The Farnsworth House!!!! Sunday was a leisuerly ride back home. Cannot wait until next year!!!!
