Ken, thanks for the link to the article with the Trudeau image. That sho 'nuff is Trudeau--it's the same image as the badly faded CDV copy that was sent to me not long ago by one of the River Road plantation people. But I don't get how three stars makes a colonel. What were the Southern rank insignia conventions, or were they subject to the dictates of personal taste as some of the uniform styles seem to have been? Thanks again for the link. --Mike
