Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

Happy Holidays Will. Terry mentioned talking to you and your involvement in Fort Wayne. I plan on attending that event. Mind if I hang with you? And of course, you're always welcome to ONV events.

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

Hi Steve,

Thanks for getting the word out on the ONV schedule for our comrades on the AC. Looking forward to some great events and I may even tag along with you for Fort Wayne if my better half will let me. I will be a spring and fall event attendee with my now very busy home life:D during the summer.

Looking forward to a great things in 2007.

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

You know you guys set out at the beginning of the year to bring authentic reenacting to the Old Northwest and dang if you didn't do it. Congrats!!!

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

Pretty amazing and yet not really. We've always known of the calibre of the people in this area. Now we are getting to know each other and attending events together. Looking forward to see Doug Cooper in an ONV company.

Happy Holidays,
Steve Acker

You have to talk to me on the German Beer. I am the one with "connections" to Deuchland. My "care packages come regularly from Germany. How this passes customs,I still have not figured out, but it does!:)

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

What about 'Banks Grand Retreat'?. That's one worth attending!

Just currious,

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

William,
Due to many work related time constraints of many of the members that event, even though it will be one of the years premier was not picked as an official ONV event. There will be a showing though. Some of the Nation as well as a few Illinois boys and myself will be in attendence with Co. A.
Cheers:D

Re: Old Northwest Volunteers

William,

The list Steve posted are events that the ONV voted to attend in significant numbers. At our meeting, we discussed Banks Grand Retreat, but only a few members could make the commitment that event deserves. An event not being listed is not a condemnation of the event.

I would think my fellow ONV roster members would join me in encouraging everyone who can to attend Banks Grand Retreat.

Hi William,

To echo what Terry and Andy have been saying, most of us can not make the time commentment with work and family responsibilities to attend the event. We all would love to make it and I have been in touch with Doug Cooper and Fred Baker about the event since early this summer. For myself, I will be at a conference for work until Thursday afternoon of the event.

I have no doubt that the event will be a first rate experience and encourage those that can attend and are on the fence to give it a try.

Best Regards,
