Hey Gerald,
Yes, I would love to go to a Civil War show in Richmond. I have been to one, up in Nashville, Tenn (I live in Alabama), years ago and I loved it. At present, I am really into the CS Navy and all. My brother and a friend of ours and I are planning to make a road trip one of these days, either to Charleston to see the Hunley museum or to Va to see the Mariners' Museum to see the Monitor exibit. Is that Mariners' musuem the only one up there, or is there another Naval museum in the Northern Va area. I heard there is another C.W. Naval Museum up that way. I also one day want to go to Kinston, N.C. to se the CSS Neuse museum and display. They built a full size replica there that you can see and go on. Have you been to their website? It is pretty neat.
Later,
Dave
