Hi Norman—
It occurs to me that some of your readers might be interested in the closing of the loop ceremony we held this weekend at Highwood Cemetery in Pittsburgh for CW drummer Peter Guibert. Earlier this wear we followed in Peter’s footsteps for 200 miles to retrace his 1913 march from Pittsburg to Gettysburg for the 50th Anniversary Reunion. The following link covers the ceremony on Sunday, 12/8/2013:
