Ten days to go till we travl tor our rendezvous at Gettysburg! Please watch the weather and wear comfortable field clothing appropriate to the season. Nothing here is physically demanding, and the 10 day forecast looks good, but Gore-tex, fleece, and water-resistant footwear are always good things to have! We hope all will be largely self-sufficient for chow and water both days afield.
For those arriving Monday, our morning runs start Tuesday the 8th at 0600 -- meet in the lobby of the 1863 Inn.
If you missed any of our past e-mails, you can view them in our archive.
While your preliminary studies might up to now have been focused on learning the history of the battle, please start focusing on LEADERSHIP and the timeless lessons you can bring to our discussions from both old times and new. You should plan on using the scraps of time given you on Tuesday May 7th to orient yourself to the battlefield by personal reconnaissance, with a view toward integration of leadership lessons learned. To help guide your preparation, please read this classic piece by Douglas Southall Freeman on Leadership.
