Tragedy hits the hobby...

Dear members of the hobby,

Yesterday, Christopher Motes and his mother Kathy were found murdered by Kathy's husband. Chris was only 17 and was a senior at New Trier High School in Wilmette, Illinois. He was a member of my former unit and was so enthusiastic about this hobby. I spent a week with the young man this summer at the Gettysburg re-enactment. He was so excited for his first national event as well as his interview at Gettysburg College, where he hoped to go next fall. His mother was also a very tender and caring woman who would do anything for her son. I suppose it is only fitting that they enter God's Kingdom together. Since I know may of you are good people, I am asking you to offer a prayer for the Motes' as well as their family and friends, as we try to cope with such a tragedy.

Thank you,
Matt Wood
