This just in from George and Charles King:
WE HAVE AWESOME NEWS!!! Our Awesome Gloucester grant proposal for the Bacheler Civil War Coat has made it to the semi-finals! Now it’s up to our 3-5 minute pitch next Monday 7PM at the Gloucester House to bring it home!! Three other good projects will also try.
Awesome Gloucester wrote:“we encourage you to invite as many of your friends, family, and supporters as possible. The more the merrier!”
That’s where you come in. We know it’s school vacation and some might have plans. If you can come, we’ll be ecstatic. Let us know! Either way, you’re all part of what everybody has worked towards for the coat. It would be impossible without you guys. Thank you for everything. If we get this, we’ve done it! The coat will be fixed, mounted and displayed!
Sincerely,
Charles and George
So excited and looking forward to coming George and Charles. Congratulations!!!

All the way around awesome. I remember the Manship’s had an old civil war uniform and I believe a saber too, at one time saw it in the 1960’s 🙂 Dave
