Busy Weekend-- Part 2: Civil War, Half-Times, B-Ball

SATURDAY, MARCH 24

Drove to Crystal Lake, Illinois, for the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group meeting.  Out topic was the war in Arkansas and Missouri with particular emphasis on the Battle of Pea Ridge.  Afterwards, I stopped at one of the few stores I still like to visit, Barnes & Noble and bought a CD, book and magazine.

We went to Half-Times in Johnsburg for the NCAA  Tournament game and the place was standing room only with a whole lot of cheering.  Ran into one guy who was wearing a USS Jacinto hat as his dad served on that ship during World War II.  My friend's dad had also served on that ship during the war and he had given me a Jacinto hat as well, so, that ship definitely wasn't forgotten today.
