Welcome !

Nice to have some more boys from the eastern side of the Old Northwest. Now we not only have Badgers and Hawkeyes to put up with , now we need to find a place for Wolverines , Those things are nasty mean!

Welcome to the ONV!

With the addition of more Michigan men(joining John Droska), we are not truly represent the Old Northwest.

This may also provide an opportunity for us to support an event at Historic Fort Wayne. It is an excellent site with the potential for a good event. Plus I grew up 15 minutes from there.

STeve Acker

Thanks for having us. I look forward to being in the field with you guys soon. I had a blast with a few of you at Marmaduke's, and I'm sure this season will be even better.

Respectfully....

Andy has already met many ONV members through Into the Piney Woods and will likely see him a several more events this year such as the Gettysburg NPS LH, Bummers, and perhaps a few other offerings.

I have been working with Andy since last September on the Gettysburg NPS LH Carpe Eventum and he has been great to work with. Andy will be in charge of the event and leading a company of 24th Michigan gents along with the Sally Port Mess. Andy has fully supported the Hard Head Mess' efforts place an accurate company of the 2nd Wisconsin at the Gettysburg NMP which has not been done to our knowledge nor has the march from the Cordi Farm to Willoughby Run retracing their steps.

Please help me extend a warm welcome to Andy into the ONV. Congratulations Andy and looking forward to having you part of the ONV family!
