V.M.I.

[Joe G from Md]

Here is a good button my friend found at our Maryland Heights camp. My opinion is it is from when Jackson brought Cadets to Harpers Ferry to train volunteers. Sorry this is only pic I have.

That's a nice button! A friend of mine has a complete 1870s - 1880s VMI Cadet uniform that he found in a house that was being torn down.

Those V.M.I. buttons are well made and retain alot of gold on them.
Nice find! Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! That's a nice find. I'm half way through another biography of "Old Jack" and it's very possible your right about it being from the Harpers Valley area. He brought a majority of the cadets with him from Richmond where he had been, if memory serves me right at "Camp Lee". There he was assigned the duties of a "drill master" training the many militiamen who arrived there as part of their loyalty to the southern cause in preparation of the ensuing fights against the "Northern Oppression"...

Nothing wrong with that , love that Vintage NSTCW look.

Believe it or not , I got 15+ roll's of 35 mm film that needs to be developed.

It's been kept in good conditions but I have heard that I may have good or bad results when I get them developed.
Also I can not recall what is on them , they are from 1990-1995.

No relic pic's tho , Spring Break in Panama City Beach , Party Pic's ; I need to get them developed.

Funny I have some 8 mm film from 1999 when I tried 'To invent You-tube Digging' I filmed me digging some fired Spencer's.
I quickly realized digging & carrying a pretty large hand held camera was not easy , (Only filmed my Dig 's, If I recall). No walking & swinging , The Camcorder soon quit working after that, sooooo.

Thanks for the reply & hope yr doing well.

Should be emotional.
