In case anyone is interested and looking for something to do this weekend--
Come see the 8,800 names on the walls of veterans from the Cleveland area.

Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument on Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio is
having its 110th Anniversary and an Ohio Bi-Centennial Marker Dedication
on July 4th, 2004 at 11:30am at the monument. The guest speaker will be
Kenneth Callahan talking about the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at
Gettysburg. This is also the 140th Anniversary of the 8th Ohio
returning home from the Civil War and having its "Welcome Home"
Celebration on Public Square. The 8th OVI Re-enactors will also be in
attendance.

Also, there is the dedication of the Ohio Historical Marker -- Dr.
William Laidlaw from the Ohio Historical Society will be presenting the
marker.

Music will be by the Singing Angels, Jim Strand with his bugle and Paul
Ferroni with his trumpet.

The ceremony is scheduled to last about an hour. If you care to join us
afterwards, lunch will be at David's at the Marriott (Society Center)
and it is a buffet lunch I believe for $15.00.

There are tours of the monument before and after the ceremony with light
dessert and refreshments.

Please come and celebrate a nice mid-day Sunday at the Soldiers' &
Sailors' Monument.
