Hey! I was at the park today 3-14-14 with the Magellan charter school. You were doing the rifles with the 9 steps and I’ve been trying to find out the person you were working with because we have to write a letter or something. Could you give me his name? (Tall blonde blue eyes)

Edward, will you be doing another last ride with AP Hill in the future. I am 47 years old, and live in North Carolina, and have done a ton of independent research on the civil war, and especially AP Hill, for many years. I have been to the spot where he was killed, and have also been to Pamplin Park a couple times over the years. I was a history major in college many years ago, and have always loved studying the civil war. By the way, I live only 15 minutes form Bentonville Battleground. If you ever do that last ride of AP Hill again, I would absolutely love to be there and learn more about my favorite General. Please let me know.
Thanks! Neil Hockaday , Four Oaks, NC nhockaday@bsnsports.com
