Hi George,

Nice to hear from you. Have been very busy on a variety of projects, most dealing with my "first love," Golden Age Aviation history. If anyone has an interest in this field, send me an email and I'll send you some links.

As regards the WBTS, my Gen. James Trudeau project is slouching to completion.

When finished, will send it to a few on the board for "peer review" to see if it has commercial potential in something like Civil War Times, or similar venue.

One of the vexing issues with the Trudeau project is finding out about Swiss military training methods of the 1830s. I do know that the national school at Thoune was not established til much later, and that training was handled by the cantons in encampments in even years from the 1820s on. The expert on such matters, Col. Dominic Pedrazzini, in Berne, has been on medical leave for an extended period but is supposedly now back in the saddle.

As soon as I can resolve that issue, the sewer line, so to speak, will become unblocked and matters will proceed rapidly after that.

Hope you are well. Congrats on your labors with the new SHAPE.

Union Forever,

Mike
