McHenry County Civil War Round Table (MCCWRT): The State of Our Speakers


It seems like quite a long time ago in March that we had our last meeting thanks to the virus.  That was in March 10, right before all this broke.

We meet every second Tuesday of the month March to November at the Woodstock Public Library in Woodstock, Illinois.  Needless to say, every meeting since March has been cancelled, including the upcoming September one.  I sure miss everybody and all those interesting talks.

In July we we were to hear Steve Acker speak on "Petersburg."

In August we had "The Fisher Family" by Dave Oberg.

This September we were to have "Fort Sumter and Other Civil War Forts" by Scott Larimer.

Hopefully, we can have the October meeting "Confederates from Iowa" by Dave Cannon.

Then, the season finale, as it were, in October, Don Hatch will speak on "Road Trippin' Thru History:  The Great Wyoming and 'Howling Wilderness--  The Rest of the Story."

I sure miss my monthly doses of the Civil War.
