Meeting this morning opened with ringing of sleigh bells which has
replaced our missing club’s bell that the Hillsboro
Flag Salute, and Invocation by Gary Mahone, followed by this day
in 1861. Having no one living at that time from our club, here is the story. July 21, 1861 was the battle of Bull Run
during the start of the civil war. This being a major defeat of the north and
both sided lost more than 5000 men during this battle between the states. For
more of the story see me at next week’s breakfast.
