In fact, the clock is usually ticking during the fine programs given there of Jackson's final days, and plays quite a prominent role in the touching presentations of NPS rangers Greg Mertz and Frank O'Reilly. The photos I took show the clock at about 5:38.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719050.post-1125252243150545732005-08-28T14:04:00.000-04:002005-08-28T14:04:00.000-04:00Randy,Thank you so much.

The Park Ranger allowed him to kneel by the bedside of the General and moved the clock back to the time of his death. The Park Ranger took pictures of General Lee at prayer by General Jackson's deathbed. It was very moving to hear him tell of it.<BR/><BR/>I wanted you to know that on Sept 8, President Lincoln, Generals Lee and Grant, along with ladies in mourning, will be at the Gaming Control Board's meeting. Susan is getting permission now. It should be confirmed this week. Along will be No Casino Gettysburg participants with their T-shirts!!! I look forward to meeting General Lee again.<BR/>Linda PerkinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
