Sorry guys!  Long time, no visit...  This semester has been quite busy (Yup, Uncle Russ, still in Korea).  Not too many Korean muzzleloading pics to share; my ML photos would be from this past summer in the States--I took part in two ACW grave dedications (including my g-grandfather's) as part of a rifle team.  It was my first time being in such a team, but I LOVED it...  Here is a video my nephew took of me and my SUVCW comrades at my g-grandfather's ceremony:  I hope to do more of these when I visit in future summers...

Hey bluelake, good to see that you are still sucking oxygen.  Wondered what happened to you.  Happy day to you and alfaguy.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest Up to God.

Thanks.  Yeah, it was for my g-grandfather who was in the 1st MI Sharpshooters.  He was one of two Indians in Co. B; Co. K was all-Indian.  The Sharpshooters (and my g-grandfather) were in all major battles of the Overland Campaign.  I was very honored to be in the rifle squad for his ceremony, along with giving the eulogy.
