OLD BUSINESS:
Joe Flannery did not show up for the meeting.

Howard Wolfe brought in the mug to be given at the luncheon.
It will have the Sons emblem and the Camp name on it.
It turned out very nice and will a very worthwhile memento.
Secretary Shaffer checked the previous minutes, but did not find any
account for the motion to have the mugs made, but the members did say a
discussion was held and that everyone was in approval for the Camp to have the
mugs done by Howard Wolfe.
The mugs will be given to all Sons attending the Appomattox Day
Luncheon.

membership applications of Donald E. Northup and Keefe R. Quinn (Bob Price’s
Grandson). A
membership committee of Joe Long, Bob Baker and Phil Jones reviewed the
applications and gave their approval.
Secretary Shaffer read a correspondence from the Everhart Museum on the
subject of loaning items to display in their Civil War exhibit.
Joe Long suggested we only loan them certain items, such as, the
picture of the Everhart, bullet board from Carl Miller and the picture of the
Gettysburg Address with Lincoln’s picture.
It was decided to have a special meeting of the Memorial Association
to decide this matter.
Bob Baker reported that there is an on-going project in Florence, SC to try
to identify all the men buried at this cemetery, one of which is Ezra Ripple.
