January 2012
To the Members of "Bud's Brigade":
While we have all known each other many years now, this is the first time I am addressing you as Director of the Civil War Center at Virginia Tech, and host for the 34th annual Campaigning with Lee, June 24-29, 2012. This year's event will be held at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown Nashville in beautiful Nashville, TN. As you all know, Bud Robertson has retired and while I hope he will rejoin us from time to time, the campaign goes on.
Nashville was the hands-down winner in the poll for our 2012 venue, and so we have our headquarters hotel secured and plans are well under way. Our speakers are making commitments already, and headlining them will be Eric Jacobson, director at the Carnton Plantation at Franklin, and Krista Castillo of the Fort Negley Museum in Nashville. Eric will also be coordinating our all-day bus tour to Spring Hill and Franklin. This being a new location for us, we will be hearing from a number of new people, as well as some old fiends like Charlie Cooke. And Eddie Wheeler says he is polishing the strings on his "git-tar" for another inimitable performance.
This being a new venue, we are trying a couple of new things this year, including building some free time into the schedule for you to explore Nashville on your own.
June is a great time of year in "Music City," and we've got a great program coming together for you, so dust off your Stetsons and polish your big boots and y'all come on down to Nashville.
