To the Editor:
We held our second annual Civil War weekend at Fort Tribute July 30-31. I would like to thank Ron Sheppard, President of the Board of Trustees, Roger Austin, Secretary of the Board, as well as all of the volunteers of the St. Lawrence Power and Equipment Museum for their support.
We also want to acknowledge the support of Timothy Cryderman, President of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association Board of Trustees, Robert Clarke, Executive Director of SLCHA, Tracy Robertson, Events Coordinator and their volunteers for all of the support they gave to this weekend. This joint partnership enabled this weekend to be a huge success.
Many thanks to the sponsors including: SeaComm, Edward C. Seymour VFW Post 1231, Anson Burke AllState Insurance Agency, Niles Asset Management, Massena Transport, Parkway Auto Group & Express, St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union and Scott & Doreen Wilson.
Special thanks to the reenactors, who come from near and as far as Canada to share their knowledge of this time period. Without all of those living historians none of this would have been possible.
