Glad to help anyone interested in Confederate history and Heritage, especially a Compatriot!

By the way, you can probably be active in California, if you desire, as we have several Camps in that state.

If you're interested, the national scv website (www.scv.org) has a listing of Camps by state.

From the homepage, select the "Join the SCV" drop-down menu, then the "Find a Camp" option. Enter the desired state on the next page and click on "search the US" (I think), and you'll possibly find a CA camp near you!

(I realize that you almost certainly know this already!)

Again, glad to help! -- Jim Huffman, Adj., Gainesville Vols, SCV Camp 373, Pearl River County, MS
