Our informal “poll” last year revealed that the three top locations that you wanted Bud’s Brigade to visit were: Charleston, SC; the Antietam area; and the Manassas area.
Donna Raines, Virginia Tech Continuing Education, and I have been looking at two places in particular for the 2010 Campaigning with Lee Seminar… Shepherdstown, WV and Hagerstown, MD. If the hotels will respond in a timely manner, we should have some data to help us with the decision. Each of these places will give us easy access to Antietam; and Harpers Ferry is quite close to Shepherdstown.
In preparation for any discussion while in Charleston, look over the following websites for more information on the two sites:

Then, for 2011 (assuming that additional polls are consistent) we will attempt the task of finding a convenient and affordable location to visit Manassas and the sites of Northern Virginia. This task could be even more daunting than Charleston, but I am convinced that there is a way to get it done.
Stay tuned!
Great news. Thought of all of you all last week. Hope we can be with The brigade in 2010!
