Deb,

Try sending your message to Jerry Russell at [log in to unmask]
He runs HERITAGEPAC, a part of Civil War Round Table Associates
(which he founded), and has a practically daily mailing on Civil War
battlefield preservation.  I believe your message is something Jerry
will want to know about, if he doesn't already.  The organization's
motto is, "We Who Study Must Also Strive To Save!".

I hope you don't mind, Deb, but I'm going to stick my neck out and
send this message to Jerry myself.  Hopefully he'll run it and reply
to you and the Museum-L gang.

Jerry recently sent out a list of ways we can help with the Sept 11,
2001 attacks.  I'm going to sent it separately to Museum-L in it's
entirety.
