Today, at the Camp Douglas Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp meeting at the Silver Stallion in Des Plaines, Illinois, our newest members drove in from Rockford, the Kings. They are related to General Turner Ashby and were officially made members at the Lee-Jackson dinner back in Monday.
Both the father and son were there as was the wife. Very pleasant folks. Of course, I figured that the men joined because of the father and was much surprised to find out that they joined because of the son, Jacques, who is his in his teens. To find someone that age who is interested in history and heritage to that degree is not something you'd expect in today's generation.
