I think a reenactors page would be great!!
I am an independant civilian reenactor and other fora that I frequent have pages just for the reenactors.
Jim is very open. Don't worry about contacting him.
During the winter, the events slow down. They are mainly in the fall and spring. If you are looking for one to attend, just google. We are close to Tulsa or I would give you our schedule. One that you should not miss is Jefferson TX in April and then there is Pleasant Hill in March. I will check to make sure those dates are correct but I thing they are.
