He is an author and a contributor to essential civil war curriculum. His last work as a trilogy covering the civil war in virginia from gettysburg and includes meade and lee, which is due for publication next year. Lets give him a welcome. [applause] thank you. It is a real pleasure to be here. It is always fun to stand in a group of people that have the same passion. You dont get looked at as strangely when you talk to other people. I am going to break precedent today and have a powerpoint demonstration. I am doing that for several reasons. Pamplin spent a lot of money to put this system in.

A few people talk to her. Shes frustrated. She has no choice but to get in the passenger side. She struggles to get across what a presume is a small, tight cabin. For the best part, the people recording this video also the people that parked the car right where its at. When shes finally in her seat, after all of that work, the guy in this car gets out and walks over to his prius. He gets in the car. She notices, oh, goodness, hes here.

He told stories and honored old friends but interestingly enough he made no mention of the dozens of pending allegations of assault. And wore a sweatshirt that said hello friend, something that his late son used to say. He joked that he used to be a comedian. He ended the set by playing the drums along with the band. Step back into the spotlight taking the stage there and over the weekend on his social media account, he posted a picture where he was supporting the eagles. So maybe trying to come back to the public eye. The retrial is scheduled for april 2 on charge thats drugged and molested a woman at his home in 2004. Cosby, free on bail, has pleaded
