BOBA Members Civil War Meetup

What better place to meet a BOBA colleague than at a Civil War Roundtable meeting? That’s what Bugle editor Leon Reed and Lehigh Vally chapter president Steve Savage just did. Leon was there to discuss his new book, Fort Sumter’s Long Shadow: Lincoln Calls for Troops, the North Creates an Army, and the Upper South Reconsiders Secession.

Bugle deadline

We hope our distribution issues are behind us and we’re now at work on the next issue of the Bugle. This next issue will contain a report on the January 2024 commemoration and Gettysburg conference; plans for what’s going to be a truly outstanding reunion in St. Charles, Missouri; news on the departures of some valued members and on the activities of some who are very much with us; chapter news; and an exciting new feature profiling our division members. And much more.

The deadline is March 10, but if I know you’re sending something, you can have a few more days. For those sending me material, please:

  1. If you’ve already set me something, remind me what you sent and when. I’ve been assembling folders of material but I’d like a cross check to be sure I haven’t missed anything.
  2. If you know of an event we should mention, please notify me of the basics: what it is, when and where, point of contact. This can include things like World War II shows, air shows, conferences, new museum exhibits, etc. Or it can include major member milestones: 100th birthdays, awards, etc.
  3. If you’re planning to submit something, let me know right away. E mail me about topic, length, photos, etc., and let me know when I can expect it.
