Annual
Dinner, Election & Raffles

House, Gettysburg with a record 80 in attendance. Troy Harman,
Gettysburg National Military Park Ranger, was the guest speaker
presenting some new theories on the Gettysburg Battle that
also includes the Daniel Lady Farm. The Batchelder Award was
presented to Sidney Kuhn, Land Conservance of Adams County,
for her dedicated work on acquiring the easement of the farm.
Bob Resig, who was unable to attend the dinner, received the
Eisenhower Award for his volunteerism at a later time. Craig
Caba, who had been an Honorary Board member, and Jay Prudy,
member of the 88th PVI, were elected to the 2006 Board of Directors.
