Some News of the Old War.
1. THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND'S NEW PRESIDENT-- is one of us. Hopefully, this means there will be no pc stuff there as all too often happens at our institutions of higher eduacation.
New president, Edward L. Ayers, is the author of the book "The Promise of the New South: Life After Reconsruction." April 11 Richmond Times-Dispatch
2. CONFEDERATE MONUMENT VANDALS-- The boys who vandalized the Confederate Mounument at the Alabam,a State Capitol have all admitted their guilt so there will not be a trial. Punishment will be decided later.
I can agree with this, but, again, part of their punishment should be in getting in touch with their Confederate heritage. And money should be involved as well.
3. BEAUVOIR REOPENS, SORT OF-- It's good to see that the grounds have reopened at the site in Biloxi, Mississippi which was so badly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
There is a small museum in the gift shop which is free, but it will cost you to walk the 54 acre grounds to see the damage Katrina wrought.
We were by there back at the end of Februaray and cpouldn't go in. The exterior of the home looked quite good, however.

Glad to hear it.
