Awesome! This is what I have been looking for! Grand Scale (or such that they are in this area) are wonderful in that they help all of us wool-wearing weirdos get together. They also assist us in increasing the public's ever-decreasing awareness of this great country's history. They are, however, very busy and the activities tend to center more on the event then on the history. If you need any help, let me know!
