The effect of Appleseed

[Mark Davis]

Last fall, at Sam Whittamore memorial range, an instructor's wife came out to shoot.
She had the misfortune to be on the line next to a SOCOM M1A. She was late starting her first redcoat, after the short barreled 30 cal next to her opened up she never did fire a shot.
She did stay long enough to hear some history.
She works as the activities director for a retirement home.
Some weeks back she contacted me to see if I would come tell the story of April 19 to the residents. I was glad to agree.
Yesterday she called  again to firm up a time.
This morning we had a meeting, her plan is to put on months of weekly programs covering Revolutionary war history leading up to the Fourth of July. Most of it will be video tape, the John Adams' movie, and a multi episode presentation on the American struggle for independence.
When questioned about how much time I get to speak she offered 45 minutes
I told her I needed two hours.
I get to talk for two hours before the TV comes on!

Cogratulations Clod. What a great service
You will perform. Wish we could sit in on it with
You.  Hope you can make our Illinois 'History BC. p


Thanks for what you do and for sharing
Your opportunity.  This might be a opportunity
across the nation.
