To Ed Bearss'left is Stan Domosh of West Bacon St. Waterville. Stan invited me along and donated much of his Civil War book collection to Waterville Public Library including a complete set of O.R. (official records) for the Civil War if someone wants to do some serious research. finally to Stan's left is Wally from Reading, Pa. who at the age of 19 was the youngest guide to ever pass the Gettysburg test to become a park guide"
