January
Meeting
The January camp meeting will be held on Thursday January 8th
at 7pm at the Shoney’s on Cobbs Ford Road.
Come early to enjoy the Shoney’s buffet for dinner with fellow
compatriots.
Henry Howard will be the guest speaker
for the January camp meeting. Henry is a
member of the Montgomery Capt. Henry C. Semple Camp #2002 and volunteers at the
First White House as a guide, welcoming visitors in period dress. Everyone who
attended the Dragoons Christmas Social surely appreciated the performance Henry
provided as Santa Claus at the event, reading “The Night Before Christmas”,
confronting the Grinch who attempted to disrupt the festivities and, handing
out doorprize gifts.
Henry will make a presentation on Confederate
Medicine. Using period surgical
instruments, he will demonstrate a field amputation. Henry is a Civil War
Re-enactor who portrays a Confederate Surgeon and Medical Inspector with the
rank of Colonel and is the Alabama Division State Surgeon. Surely a fascinating meeting is
promised.
