Diane, I just finished reading my latest issue of the LBHA Newsletter, February 2007. I didn't know you were stepping down as editor after May, and I just wanted to thank you for the great work you've done. I really enjoyed the February issue and especially Bill Boyes' article about 40 years with the LBHA and his meeting so many years ago with Hank Weibert. I had never heard the specifics of how the Crow's Nest marker was set. Great article.
Thanks again for all you and Chuck have done for the LBHA, and good luck with your Civil War endeavors!
Frank

I hope you'll come to the Nebraska conference and meet Bill Boyes in person. As Fred can attest, he's a great guy to sit down with and "talk Custer."
I have mixed feelings about passing the baton for the Newsletter, but something has to give. I'll still have this website to keep me in the loop, and one of the Civil War projects involves Jacob Lyman Greene, GAC's best man, so I won't be far from Custeriana with that either.
Thank you very much, Frank.

Thank you very much, Frank. I refuse to let you go dear lady. Custerania is the 50 lb stone you will wear on your leg forever. Plus, I had a proposition for you! And for the dirty-minded, not that type! Thank you for all your work on the Newsletter! Some person will have big shoes to fill. Frank, thanks for the heads-up as my copy is obviously in a saddle-bag on the western Kansas plains dodging dark clouds  Billy |

Diane--
I have to echo the sentiments expressed above. Being a head volunteer in a volunteer organisation is generally a thankless job (as I have recently learned), but you carried it off with aplomb and integrity.
Regards,
Leyton McLean

Diane--
It would be remiss of me not to mention how much we all appreciate your sense of humour. So often, it seems, Custer boards--and I don't know why that is--fall into a trap of egotistical and paranoid self-importance, but you manage to keep it all in perspective and laugh when it's needed!
