CWTI; I dip my paddle

As a kid, I was a lucky little duck. My folks didn't have much extra money, but they did get me a subscription to Civil War Times Illustrated when I was ten years old. That started a long journey. I'm pleased to hear that Dana Shoaf will be at the helm of this esteemed magazine.

May he capture the fancy of many more ten-year-olds who will become lifelong learners, and rangers, and bloggers, and authors, and historians, and...

Best wishies Dana, I'm very confident that everything's cool.
