Hey all, I've been on for a couple of months but I never saw the Meet and Greet area before, so I'll introduce myself... my name is Dee, I live in PA but hail from NY. I'm a history buff and reenactor with an artillery group. I'm have a family, work FT, go to school FT, and I am also in the Air NG. Busy, busy. I'd like to get into Living history because I like being particular about portraying the CW but a lot in my group are not so fussy. All I need is that 8th day. So, I'll say hey all and hope to be on here more than I seem to right now.

Welcome Dee, glad to have you aboard. And my, but you are a busy one. Once you come across the secret of the 8th Day, I trust you will share it with your good buddies here at cwt. regards, ed

my user name is gaelic for 'fire girl'; as I have yet to perfect the language I'll not butcher it although the book I got it from led me to pronounce it (teen-ca-leen).

Welcome to the site, spent 7 years Active duty & Active AF Reserve so I understand where you are coming from w/ being busy. Living History is a truly rewarding experiance. It allows me to better understand the mindset of the soldier of the 19th century and it allows my wife to better understand my passion and the actions and daily life of her own ancestors... I hope that makes sense. Regardless welcome.

Welcome Dee. You'll find lots to read on this board, on just about every subject. Hope to see you do some posting. Lots of info sharing going on about the Civil War. So, I'm guessing you're Irish? I know I'm goin' out on a limb here.

Welcome from a 22 year AF veteran (12 Active, 10 Reserve and just signed up for another six). This is the best place to discuss al things CW.
BTW, since you have chosen a gaelic username, the correct greeting to you should be "Caed Meile Failte", or 100,000 welcomes.
